As of today, I’ve posted 900 individual new poems here since Jan.1, 2010.  My intention is to post 100 more by the end of the year, to make a two-year total of 1000 poems posted.

Why do I do this?  It’s explained on the “About” page here in detail, but here’s a capsule version.

Simply put, a few years ago I embarked on a project to make public my entire process as I created a body of work, posting ALL the poems I worked on over time in a single, publicly accessible blog.  I thought there might be some value in documenting this — all the poems, good, bad, and mediocre that I worked on over time.

I still think this is an interesting idea.  And I’m going to continue doing it.

I’ve been gratified by the feedback I’ve gotten from you over time.  I hope the work stands as a testament to how one poet explored themes multiple times, edited and revisited some works, and left others behind as failed experiments (there are a lot of those here, if you ask me).

As I move closer to the “Meaningless Goal” of 1000 poems in two years, I hope you continue to enjoy and find meaning in the overall work, as well as in individual pieces.  

Thanks for reading.  Onward, and I hope you continue reading. As always, I invite your feedback.
