I have a lot of poetry books of all different types, by tons of different authors. I also worked at a poetry library for over a year and was a writing major in high school which provided me with more than enough handouts from teachers to supplement this blog. Also, I try to post reader-written poetry one month of every year.
As you can see, I take (often unplanned) time off, though, so I haven’t necessarily posted as many poems as you might think. But basically I just read, read, read!
