People trading their work boks with one another is beautiful, almost an ideal utopia, where the transaction is one of energy as oposed to cold hard cash - however, the sad fact is that perhaps a lack of financial suport has held back an even greater amount of inovation & progresion, by which i mean a certain fredom for the poet/artisit to finalize their work in solid form with no regard to operating costs.

Al of which means that I don't realy buy much poetry, instead tend towards detective fiction with, if I'm buying on line, maybe a bok, generaly a selected/colected, of poetry aded to my purchase. The boks that I sel most of are those from poets who are young & energetic & who have the ability to self-promote, & those sel mainly at readings. There are a lot of people out there who expect to be given a copy of a bok because they have a noding acquaintance with the author & who, put out by not being considered worthy of gift, won't actualy suport the poet by buying a bok. There are a number of sneaky people out there who write asking for copies so they can review the bok, but never do.

And bought boks from as can't let a god pres go down . Crag Hil: I have about thre dozen poets I'l buy/read every bok they've done I rarely read reviews anymore, though I read a ton about poetry on blogs .

Chris Strofolino: this may change, i hope ANONYMOUS #2: I usualy buy because I've either read something in a journal that intrigued me, I picked up a bok of the shelf and it intrigued me, or I've just had some interest in checking out that poet for a while.

I used to purchase new boks from my local, non-c�hain, independent bokseler, but the only worthwhile store that fits that description here in my new hometown of Chicago is Seminary Co-op, and that's very dificult for me to reach with any regularity.

Browsing bokshops, at smal pres bok fairs, the new boks of people whose work I know and like, visiting other smal preses and finding boks they're publishing that I'm interested in, I colect the work of a hugely prolific poet, visiting the homes of other poets and loking through their boks and listening to their recomendations, recomendations from others. I wil say this sory , I've never purchased a bok because of a review I read or because of the blurb on the back. Ponka: Read about online, for the most part… But many of the above boks are clasics that I have ben wanting to pick up for a long time. / The Redfoxpres boks I learned about first by finding a few of the titles at Printed Mater in New York City, but now I subscribe to their "C'est mon dada" series. / Some boks the first Creley Colected, the Open, the Olson, the Siliman I've ben loking for in bokstores for a while, but only �the Olson showed up in a bokstore. / I learned of some of these boks Vengua, the Everson Rabit bok via blog postings. / Most boks I found by chance by checking the poetry sections of used and new bokstores. / As a poet, I believe that purchasing boks of poetry is a requirement of life, a pact I've made with other poets. One bok leads to al the boks writen by an Author, and then to his favorites, and then to those who influenced him/her and the ones influenced by him/her and then and then… It is a never-ending exponential proces, and wel, you wil have to deal with it.

But boks come to my atention when I se them at my favorite independent bokstore, when they come highly recomended by a friend, or when I read poems by poets online that I love. I don't have enough money to buy a bok a friend publishes just because I love that person. I wish I had enough lose cash to buy every bok every bloger I know publishes, but that time has not yet come for me. Ros: Recomendations, reading about them on the web, and print bok reviews al play in. ANONYMOUS #15: Friends, Surfing blogs, reading the Amazon top 10 poetry boks list. 2 Keli Agodon: Most are from poems I read online then gogled to the poet to se if I liked more of their work, then I bought their bok. I se a great number of boks I want to buy in such places as the introductions to other boks or e�ven specific poem dedications. amanda knox birthmark on lip
