Quick 2021 Summation

Books Read:  34
Poems Written:  359

Getting sick and ending up in the ICU toward the beginning of the year seemed to really throw me out of my routines and left a negative impact on the year's numbers, especially reading, which had the lowest annual total since 2002. My plan of focusing on bigger books in 2021 didn't survive past January. For the first time since I started submitting poetry seriously, I didn't submit a single poem all year, though I did publish a book in May.
