that eventually they might see the great stuff everyone shares and become a regular. I know many poets who speak at conferences and schools already do this, but making a conscious effort to market is a great idea, Ed. The world needs more pleasure, thoughtfulness, sharing and fun, etc. And I think Poetry Friday hits many marks! Oh and do like poet Janet Wong....go to a site like Burkins and Yaris and mention Think Kid Think!!! Weave it into comments on great blogs for teachers.(I am not talking shamless promotion here, though.) Teachers would love this stuff once they got into it!! Blogs need to be searchable for busy teachers in order to integrate to fullest advantage and I don't know how hard that is to accomplish. (Google is not fail safe!) Sort of like Syliva and Janet's Poetry Friday Anthology which by the way was a big hit at my session since I had 5 copies for door prizes from Janet and Sylvia that went to grateful teachers..... who had to share something poetry-related in order to win!! So thanks to all the poets around these parts who contributed to that great resource for teachers. Another way to get the word out!! There is also a great e-book version which I assume you all know about especially thanks to Renee's amazing post a couple of weeks ago. The Problem Statement : If you remove the contributors, that leaves a roughly 3:2 ratio of readers to contributors. Are we satisfied?
