The Comprepoetica Poetry Survey


The following is an all-purpose survey form about poetry. It is intended for everyone with a serious interest in poetry, including unpublished poets--and even those who "only" read poetry. Its aim is twofold: to generate responses of interest in their own right, and to provide raw data for the dictionary of poetry and related matters that is the central purpose of Comprepoetica.

Click here for a list of the questions below to pass on to those interested who can't access the Internet--or to use to prepare rough drafts of answers before going to the boxes of the survey. Indicate any parts of your reply you want to remain confidential (i.e., not to be posted at this website). Feel free to ignore any questions you don't want to answer. Feel free also to submit only a few answers at a time; just remember to put your name on every submission.
