There is something so freeing about my new #poetry and #commonplace #prose #newsletters because A) I am assiduously avoiding looking at any stats from the start (when my prior lists got large---by my standards, there were less than 2000 for the largest---I got seduced by stats), and B) the platform I am using (ButtonDown) is run by a fantastic developer, so I can avoid getting bogged down in rolling my own system. Oh, and C) the lists have open RSS feeds as well.
