DU has produced several great poets who have been published.  Frank Green (aka. Hades Rising) is one such writer.  I've read his book of damn good scary writes.
I think it would be great of DU provided a forum dedicated to reviewing poetry books.  Especially those produced by members, not only to promote our members, but DU itself.
What are your thoughts?

I think it's a wonderful idea. I just bumped the DUP Published Author's thread in the poetry forum. I am slowly working my way down it.

Kimmy!  There it is, my friend, the link to the forum I told you about, the one that will help answer the question you asked me.

Everything of mine included there is years ago, and yes, I was/am in a large number of actual printed anthologies as well.  By the time a member friend of mine from here invited me to check out DUP, I needed to downscale and shift down to a more relaxing speed because I had been at full tilt without a let-up since my mid-teens. It was that, or burn to a cinder, so to speak.  That’s why my references outside of the Deep are older. But being here gradually got me back up to speed, for however much longer is up to the Universe.

I hope that helps you, Snuggles!
ever

Thanks for the shout out. I hope it was scary enough for you, lol.

Thanks to you, after reading your book, I never sleep without a night-light. 😡

I wonder if a "book club" would be a good idea for a group?

What format would it take? A new book each week or month and then a discussion?

Would any of you lot be interested in running such a group?

Other online book clubs I’m in choose a book a month. The leader, obviously, leads discussion questions but other members can pose questions, thoughts, etc.

sounds like a good idea to me ....once a month would be good as once a week might get expensive ...then at the end of the year we nominate a book of the year...just a thought. Terry

Awesome idea. I'll be member and support, but really have no time to head it up.

Through the month of April I'll  be sort of busy.  But by the middle of May I could head it up.

You'd be perfect. And thank you again for hosting the Classic Corner this month.  We truly appreciate it. I'm wrestling down my Gibran entry, btw. I haven't forgotten about you - though my eyes are ready to kill me! LOL!
