Hi Lisan, I found you on Medium. I am a fellow poet who is new to Medium and still trying g to figure it all out. I have not published anything yet as I want to understand Medium a bit more. I was impressed with your poems particularly because you are so vulnerable in writing about your thoughts and feelings. My poetry as my friends in my poetry group have told me is one of storytelling. I write poems about nature, but also childhood memories and other experiences. Some of my favorite poets are, of course, Mary Oliver, Tess Gallager, Linda Pastan, our current Poet Laureate in the US, Joy Harjo( first Native American poet Laureate, ever!) and Charles Wright, just to name a few.
I have questions for you: why do people publish in the smaller platforms like Scribe, or PS I love you, instead of just publishing directly to Medium? What is the advantage? Also do you copyright your poems, if not, why not and if yes, is there a way to do that on Medium?
I'd very much like to hear from you. I can be reached through my email: nschieron0827@gmail.com.
Thanks and I hope you are well during this frightening time.
