Is Blogging the New Poetry?

By Mark McGuinness

According to Seth Godin it is, since most bloggers write for self-expression rather than money or fame. Maybe that explains why I like both.

There’s something circular going on here for me – It was Seth’s e-book that inspired me to start the Wishful Thinking blog… which led to me starting this poetry blog… on which the last post was about my lens on writing poetry… which is hosted on Squidoo… which is a company created by… Seth Godin.

So does that mean my last post was poetry squared (or cubed)? Or is it just too hot for me to think straight?

One thing that does puzzle me is why I’ve found it so hard to find really good poety blogs out there, apart from George Szirtes‘ and Todd Swift‘s. Can anyone suggest some others?
