Here's a good idea, and packaged just right for its readership: PoetryFoundation.org compiles a "contemporary poetry best seller list [that] is meant to reflect the current market for new poetry." It provides a welcome heads-up to what's buzzing among readers, and the "Behind the List" commentary makes the statistics come alive! Anyway, it's a pleasant list to look at. The competition isn't palpably fierce, unlike the NYTimes, where the siege laid against Marley & Me is slowly turning hardcovers into paperbacks. I recommend, niiice.
Hope you all had a pleasant holiday!
