how to poet is a blog designed to shamelessly attract attention to poetry.

The poets at The Poetry Society of New York are having a little fun: we’re creating literary content, criticism, and entertainment using devices typically reserved for online attention-getting (listicles, how-to’s, trending topics, SEO, hashtags, hyperlinks, hyperbole, sensationalism, puff, and fluff), so that we can reach outside the established poetry community to encourage wider audiences for poets and their work.

If you’ve ever wondered how to poet then get ready to scroll, like, and share because this algorithm-approved content is for you.
