During 2020, I started publishing some of my poetry on Medium. Some of it I published directly, a great deal of it has been published by Jonathan Greene on the publication Loose Words.

The stats on medium are notoriously bad, but here’s the top five just sort of pulling from what they show me for VIEWS and FANS.

Out of the 100+ poems I published last year, here are the top five poems according to VIEWS:

1. January 6, 2021

Views: 233 — Reads: 141 — Fans: 2
