I'm fascinated by the statistics provided for my poetry blog. Currently, the top ten countries in visits to the blog are: US, Uruguay, Germany, Portugal, France, UK, Ireland, Philippines, Taiwan, and Venezuela. Other countries that frequently make the list: Canada, India, Singapore, Russia, Poland, Spain, Italy, Turkey, Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, Argentina, Chile, Brazil. Parts of the world that are NOT being reached: Africa, the mainland of China. It is heartwarming to realize that there is an audience for poetry, whether it is mine or Lalla's or someone else's. The world needs poetry.
