This is going to be a list of survey results: how many have sent in a completed survey form, what poets have been mentioned on those forms as favorites, what schools of poetry are so far represented in those surveys, and as many other things as I can think of and have time to find out. . .
It is now 28 November 1997. Only now am I writing anything here. Too many other things going on. But I learned someone has actually been checking this section of my site and is disappointed in its dead state. So here are a few fascinating Comprepoetica stats:
Age: 47 days
Visits: 400
Number of Visits by SiteMaster Bob G.: probably about 150
Number of bios so far: 31
Number of bios the SiteMaster forgot to put a link to on the Bio homepage until now: 2 (Sely Friday's and Eliza Jane Farley's--apologies to both)
1st Poet to fill out a survey: Chris Alexander
1st (and so far only) critic-only to fill out a survey: Michel Delville
1st Female Poet to fill out a survey: Jenny Houston, who was the 11th poet to fill out one
Number of Male bios: 25
Number of Female bios: 6
Schools represented: we have a few mainstream poets, and at least one neoformalist (or semi-neoformalist) but mostly we have various language poets, the SUNY, Buffalo, poetics discussion group being the main place Comprepoetica has been publicized. Also a couple of my visual poetry friends. I hope eventually for a much wider variety of bios.
Most ridiculous Omission: a bio from the SiteMaster, who's been too lazy to fill out his own survey form. That's it for now.>br>
