There are a few rules by which everyone here should abide:

1. This is a subreddit for published poetry you love, not poetry you wrote. Don’t post your own work unless it’s in an edited publication, and don’t post reviews, news or articles, stories for workshop, prompts, story collections, etc. (There’re other subreddits for that stuff.)
2. Don’t downvote; discuss. Comments should be somewhat effortful.
   2a. No slander, negging, trolling, racism, homophobia, xenophobia, etc. Be polite.
   
3. Feel free to type up poems by published authors that you cannot find online. Otherwise, links to poems/publications are preferred.
   
4. Don’t spam.
5. Format submissions like so: Author – “Title”
   5a. Include the publication information in a comment with your submission (e.g., book/journal/website, publisher, year, etc.).
   5b. If it’s a PDF or some other wonky format, put [PDF] or [DOC] or what-have-you after the title.

Please report anything that breaks the rules and I will remove it (except for #5: breaking that rule will only elicit mild scorn).

(I know that the nature of the internet makes the notion of publication rather slippery, but please use your best judgment by avoiding things like self-published ebooks or blog posts or 4chan posts, etc. I just want to be able to click a link and read a good story.)
