Ook hier een groeiend probleem? Are Too Many Poetry Books Being Published?

"I also wonder whether the quantity of new poetry books is sustainable in such a small (and often niche) market. Let’s say ten books are published and each sells an average of 500 copies – that’s 5000 sales. But let’s say a hundred books are published. Are people going to buy any more than 5000 books? If they don’t, that means an average of 50 sales per book. A growing number of poetry books requires a growing number of poetry readers. Current readers don’t have either unlimited time or bank balances."

Ik heb Blonk dat live zien uitvoeren in Leuven. Echt razend knap!

Toch curieus dat de winnaar en praktisch alle runner-ups van de genoemde Haiku Challenge feitelijk helemaal geen haiku zijn. (Dit terzijde van regel nummer 1: hekel aan haiku).
