Hi poets and poetry lovers,
This week, let's explore the intersection of poetry and technology. The digital age has transformed the way we create, share, and consume poetry, offering new opportunities and challenges for poets everywhere.
How has technology influenced your poetry? Do you use social media, blogs, or digital publishing platforms to share your work? Have you tried using any poetry-writing apps or tools? How do you feel about the rise of online poetry communities and digital collaboration?
Share your experiences and thoughts on writing poetry in the digital age. Let's discuss how modern technology has shaped our creative processes and the poetry landscape as a whole. Join the conversation and let's see how we're all navigating this exciting, tech-infused world of poetry!

Digital age like all development creates positives, I can write these words in my bedroom and people thousands of kilometres away can read them. I like to publish here, and feel a communal relationship with other covers. I have recently opened a instagram account which I made public but I haven't created a lot of content. It was so I can read mothers poetry which are now written in reels, I baulk at yet another app. The positive side of social media is non-poets can comment on your poem, albeit this is often by not commenting.
This community gives me confidence to join in person poetry meetings and I think I have found one I can stretch out to fit me. I am still wary of venturing to far abroad in Sydney. Being published is a different issue. Books of poetry published in Australia have to sell in an overseas market and I think lose a layer of authenticity as a consequence.. Poetic form has not been local since the rise of modern commerce.
This answer is long enough.
