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.

I have really enjoyed your great volume of poetry being posted. As artists we do best when working all the time moving through all kinds of pieces, and the variance of work is progress/process toward something essential within us. Thanks for sharing and showing it.
