"Do you read poems? Do you buy poetry books? I buy about a dozen books of poems a year, I'd say. I read all the ones in the New Yorker, and like about a fourth.I want to take a short survey here: How often do you read poems? and Have you bought any poetry books this year? "

I always feel a little wistful when I read a question like this (and the sixteen comments that followed it).  It is a reminder that life continues to move forward at the same rate for everyone, and that we need need to make the most of each moment.  I know that it has been too long since I last read a poem because I cannot remember what the last poem I read was. This is a sad state of affairs, particularly for someone who has repeatedly resolved to read at least a poem a day, and it cannot be healthy.  I shall try to reverse the trend beginning tonight.
