Internet Poetry
So if there’s “internet poetry” does that mean there’s “book poetry”? And “zine poetry”? “Chapbook poetry”? “Bathroom wall poetry”? And, in order of importance, where does internet poetry stand amongst these?
If you’ll excuse me, I’mma go make some “toilet poetry.”
(I’mma go poop.)

Anyone wanna do an article for CBSChicago.com?
Specifically the ‘best of’ section?
I regrettably can’t pay you (which is frustrating). Though, for those of us who are students/just starting out, it’s a nice credit/clip to have.
I will appreciate it. And buy you a beer if you are of age and we are ever coincidentally in the same place.
ANYWAYS, email me at mason.johnson@cbsradio.com if you are interested.

Please click this article. My bosses don’t like these kinds of articles because they don’t tend to do well. If this does well, I can use it as an excuse to write more.
Thank you
