Who buys poetry?

answers1: I buy poetry.....I am with ya, but still most of us write
and read because we love it!! Can't help it that we are the smart and
deeply beautiful people. Everyone can't be so blessed...keep up the
support...starving artist everywhere need it!!!
answers2: i buy poetry! <br>
<br>
especially about crabs <br>

i used to read a LOT of poetry in lockdown....it got me thru the
struggle, u know wat i mean
answers3: most people will buy poetry when they understand it a bit
more, its rather complex. its a form of individualism, but in the day
and age of fast pace and tech. people will buy a book to spur their
imagination rather than read poetry, trying to figure out what the
poet was trying to say/express. just what i think on the matter.
answers4: tricky factor. query at google and yahoo. that may help!
answers5: We can't make anybody else buy poetry, but we can be sure to
buy it ourselves. We can buy it for our own reading pleasure, and we
can choose poetry books as presents for our friends. There are a
whole bunch of holidays coming up. Let's give some thought to which
poets would be right for which people on our gift lists.
answers6: its just like how people don't buy many cds anymore--you can
get it online. Same goes for poetry, you can look it up and there it
is, people don't want to waste their money on it.
answers7: *Thrusts arm into the air* Ooooh, I know the answer! I do!
Haha, but seriously..It might have to do with the way their trying to
be sold..Well, more so the place.....If you're trying to sell a book
yourself, try directing it to the particular audience that would be
interested in it [poets and those who love poetry]. Maybe see if you
could sell the book at a poetry convention or at an open mic
night/poetry slam. A book of poetry being sold in an environment like
that will most likely have much higher sales...:]
