Great Regulars: Wow. Two percent of Canadians read poetry?

That's a lot of readers, considering the size of the country, our puny population and various factors from here to points elsewhere. That's great news and a lot of readers straight across this great nation for an art considered on chronic life support.

I'm an Anguish Major. You do the math; but, the truth of it all? That anybody reads poetry in these gawd-forsaken times, let alone the fact many many actually do. Good on us. Good for you. (And, thanks, too.)
