I’m not sure which side of the fence I sit on with this topic. Poets or editors who include a small exposition with poems in collections. Sometimes its nice to know what the poet was thinking after I’ve read something, or a little history on the form or setting. After a Google session it seems the internet is fairly divided on this. What about the cove? Do you all like a little bit of history with your poems, or do you prefer to keep it open to interpretation, and why?

Yeah I've been following. - I've tried blogging in the past, not for poetry but in general. I'm terrible at upkeep on them. - I have wanted to do mini poetry films, like reading the poem over a small animation on Tiktok, Insta, and Threads. I thought of adding some exposistion to the text in the "comments/text below" section. - As I keep back ups of all my poems on the cloud in google drive, I have taken to writing exposistions in the doc with the poem for if it is ever needed. I thought for like a 5 or 10 year annaversy of a poetry collection it might be nice to release an annoted version of it, kind of like school educational text.
