If so, you&#8217;ve probably wondered, Is Twitter good for poets? You&#8217;re not the only one. A recent article in The Washington Post explored the benefits and drawbacks of using Twitter as a publishing platform. In this piece, we&#8217;ll look at the pros and cons of using Twitter for poets. We&#8217;ll also take a look at how Twitter has helped other writers, including Cate Marvin and Cathy Park Hong.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Poetry_on_Twitter\"><\/span>Poetry on Twitter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There&#8217;s nothing quite like Poetry on Twitter. Posted by poets, it provides a light-hearted respite from the seriousness of real life situations. Poetry on Twitter can be a great way to meet new readers, interact with them, and share their work. A particularly poignant example of poetry on Twitter was a poem written while Twitter was down. It was posted to thank users for continuing to tweet and spread the word.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Short_stories_on_Twitter\"><\/span>Short stories on Twitter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Writing a short story is not an easy task, and it is especially challenging if it is a work of fiction. A story that is 140 characters long is usually considered too short, so authors are forced to whittle down their work to fit in the allotted space. Even the most renowned writer, Earnest Hemingway, once wrote a short story in six words, and published it in a book with the same name as his Twitter handle.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cathy_Park_Hong\"><\/span>Cathy Park Hong<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Follow Cathy Park Hong on Twitter to read her poems. She is an award-winning poet and essayist. Her book Minor Feelings is nominated for the 2020 National Book Critics Circle Award for Autobiography, and she has written a number of books of poetry. She is also a regular faculty member of Queens University&#8217;s MFA program. Here&#8217;s a brief bio of the poet.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cate_Marvins_poetry_on_Twitter\"><\/span>Cate Marvin&#8217;s poetry on Twitter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in reading more of Cate Marvin&#8217;s poetry, then follow her on Twitter. The multi-award-winning author of the acclaimed works World&#8217;s Tallest Disaster and Oracle, Marvin is also active on social media. She also shares links to articles on other poets, photos from literary events, and her own family. Follow Cate Marvin&#8217;s Twitter account to receive updates on her latest publications and readings.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nick_Flynns_poetry_on_Twitter\"><\/span>Nick Flynn&#8217;s poetry on Twitter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Reading Nick Flynn&#8217;s poetry on Twitter can provide an interesting glimpse into his life. He has a varied background, including stints as a ship&#8217;s captain, electrician, and caseworker for homeless adults. While drifting through various jobs, Flynn eventually ended up working at a homeless shelter in Boston where he met his father. Eventually, he began writing poetry and published some of it online.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kyle_Dargans_poetry_on_Twitter\"><\/span>Kyle Dargan&#8217;s poetry on Twitter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you like to read poetry on social media, Kyle Dargan is a great choice. The award-winning poet focuses on the mechanics of the heart and mind when they are battered by loss. After a string of tragic deaths, Dargan offers self-portraits as poetry on Twitter. Kyle Dargan has reached a turning point as a poet and a man. In this interview, we discuss Dargan&#8217;s work and the importance of poetry as a medium.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ezq21DXJGII\" width=\"455\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"254\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is Twitter Good For Poets?
