Thoughts

I like the idea of having a poetry community with wider focus.

>> Less explicitly, there is a bias toward poetry that has been published on paper as opposed to posted online or shared through other more unorthodox channels.<<

It might be interesting to feature some of those less orthodox options. There are some poetry podcasts, for instance, and at least a couple of tweetzines that specialize in poetry.

>> To encourage posting of poems by a variety of poets, I ask that poets wait to share their own poetry until a week when they are named Poetry Host.<<

Might we consider some other opportunities? Say, if someone has a book released or has a periodic activity going? I've seen at least a couple other people doing prompted poetry days.
