A few months ago, I decided to learn about RSS feeds. Thanks to a Youtube video, I learned how to check if a page has an RSS option, which opened up possibilities that weren't previously apparent. I use the Feedly.com feed reader, which had some poetry options immediately available. I currently subscribe to the following journals on Feedly:
Via Negativa
Poetry Northwest
Rattle
The Adroit Journal
The Best American Poetry blog (which sometimes posts original poetry)
The Carcanet blog
The Offing
Zyzzyva
In addition, I've subscribed to the Daily News feed of Poets & Writers and to the Announcements page of the National Book Critics Circle.
That results in more than I can keep up with in a day but I'm glad that I've got this fount to dip into from time to time and I'd rather have it in feedly than coming to my email inbox.
It is through this venture into RSS feeds that I learned that the National Book Critics Circle puts out a long list for their March awards in December (more about that in a later post).
Overall I'm glad I've learned a little and have established some feeds to keep me informed and to have another avenue for dipping into poetry currently being published.
