THE Big news. I do not get rich by blogging or writing for that matter. In fact, logspot finds my site ineligible in the world of google ads. So conclusively this is all for your and my enjoyment, odds leaning toward mine.
So here is the annual Top Ten most viewed blog posts from this blog. There are a few ties and all the Top Ten have links back to the original post.
This year's list isn't dominated by much of anything. It's a nice well rounded list of types of subject matter. So here they are, in reverse order
10. Nick Flynn, Gregory Pardlo and Rachel Eliza Griffiths riding with me to MassPoetry 2015--and yes, I really screwed up the filming
Reason: People love great poets being interviewed in cars, just as much as they like Jerry Seinfeld in cars with comedians. Besides screwing up the filming, there was something screwed up later in the year which that wonderful car was involved in...being run off the road
.
9. What happens when a good friend takes over your Dire Literary Series for her book launch.
Reason: The tie in with MassPoetry and Billie Holiday helped.
Reason: People love parties and pictures. Writing Centers that offer help, workshops and events are helpful to all writers.
Reason: When on-line publications die and there is no archive, what are you going to do, cry?
Reason: Most viewed blog about any of my published work of 2015. People like life/death experiences and the afterlife. Hell, they like death. Even Dead Market Writings made this list. They like Freud. Adler and Rogers. They like cleverness. Win.
3. Not much news, so let's remember Thieves Jargon and activate the Whaaaaay Back Machine for a strange little story.
Reason: Franz was loved as a man and as a poet. His exchanges with others have been notoriously volatile. Not with me...only fond e-mails and exchanges

9. What happens when a good friend takes over your Dire Literary Series for her book launch.
Reason: I had nothing to do with this. Nadine's books is new, fresh and great. The launch was fun and people freaking love game shows.
Reason: The tie in with MassPoetry and Billie Holiday helped.
Reason: People love parties and pictures. Writing Centers that offer help, workshops and events are helpful to all writers.
Reason: When on-line publications die and there is no archive, what are you going to do, cry?
Reason: Most viewed blog about any of my published work of 2015. People like life/death experiences and the afterlife. Hell, they like death. Even Dead Market Writings made this list. They like Freud. Adler and Rogers. They like cleverness. Win.
Reason: People are into process--the "how to" get something done. I'm not
because this book is still not finished. Revision can be a huge
avoidance.
Reason: See #5 blog. Oh, but this one got more views so that's even more true.
3. Not much news, so let's remember Thieves Jargon and activate the Whaaaaay Back Machine for a strange little story.
Reason: People loved 2009. They loved Thieves Jargon. They loved the long google-able list with their names on it as well as the names of EVER writer ever published by Thieves Jargon.
Reason: Best news of all. Five years of sobriety on November 6. People were interested in that--attraction, yes?
And the number One most viewed blog post of 2015
1. On Franz Wright death and e-mails/wonderful exchanges with Franz
Reason: Franz was loved as a man and as a poet. His exchanges with others have been notoriously volatile. Not with me...only fond e-mails and exchanges
