"THE LinkedIn POETRY ALL-STARS"

is a list of poetry publications that I've read and loved/love.  The list will be updated over time as I read and love what I read. I read poetry frequently and stylistically as widely as I can.

Why LinkedIn? After joining it in 2013, I realized I could use it as a forum for recommending (others') poetry. My choices mostly reflect poetry readings as of 2013, though if I recall a poetry book I read pre-2013 and loved, I'll add it on the list.  These readings are not necessarily of recently-published poetry as I do read poetry years after their publication dates.  And Poetry, too, is a "job-hunter" -- for readers...

Do go to the prior post for a convenient List of Represented Publishers, which presents links to their web or other online sites. 

I am fortunate in having roles that expose me to much poetry (e.g. editing the most fun online poetry review, Galatea Resurrects, and I do try to read every single review copy sent, whether or not I review it). I hope my "LinkedIn Poetry All-Stars" (sorry but that title amuses Moi) will be another way for people to discover poetry that might not otherwise receive their attention.  That's really all I'm doing: paying attention and drawing attention to ...
