i have a question. why do you only publish by established poets. not a complaint but a question.
From the FAQ:
This Tumblr was designed to be a collection of poetry that your mods and the Tumblr community at large enjoy.
This blog was never really intended to be a showcase of original poetry by Tumblr users. Once the blog took off and we began getting a lot of submissions like this from followers, we made the rule because we really were just getting too many and they were drowning out poems that had been written professionally and undergone a rigorous editing/revising process. Ultimately, we really wanted to post especially great and moving poetry on this blog, and passing judgment on someone’s hard work by saying it’s “not good enough” is not something your mods want to be responsible for.
