i've bought a few books and then binned them of gave them to the charity shop.....mostly it's worse poetry than you get in forums 
i had the complete works of Shakespeare and never looked at it for many years. when i did finally peek i was amazed...with the plays, most of his sonnets i thought crap. now i see them as yesteryears chart toppers. i've had people buy me numerous small books of love poetry for some reason hehe. of which my favourite poem was "she walks in beauty" i love that poem.
i've seen poetry published in reader's digest and other things but never read it. it's weird but if i read outside of the net it has to be news or a good book of non poetry. on here i can read oddles of the stuff. isn't it a bit like art. unless you die or find a gallery to host your work you starve in some flea bitten garret along the Thames or seine, or in your case Sydney harbour
