February Poetry Exchange
What is a Poetry Exchange
A Poetry Exchange is an event where a set of poets get together and review each other's work.
The poets all bring poems that they want direct help with and put them in places to give easy reviews.
They divide the poems among themselves and get to reviewing.
When they are done reviewing the pile they have, they exchange again so that each poem at least gets 2 reviews.
At any time the original poet can check back on their poem to see if there is something the reviewer wants to work on with them.
There are two ways to go about this exchange. We are going to try a new approach using YWS as a hub and doing reviews on here instead of using word pads as described in "How to Run a Poetry Exchange."
Where the Poems will be Hosted
In order to submit poems into the exchange, you must either have it published on YWS.

Post on here with the following information:
How many poems you are thinking of submitting.
Absolutely no more than 7. I would suggest between 1 and 4.
If you already have the links, put them up.
Links to the poems must be given to me by the 14th at the latest.
If your internet connection is stable.
This is to determine if you will likely be able to get on the internet during a two week period.
How much of a procrastinator are you on a scale of 1-5.
1- Not a procrastinator
2 - Occasional procrastinator
3 - Self assigning deadline procrastinator
4 - Procrastinator that works well with deadlines
5 - Huge procrastinator
Want to participate but the spots are all full? Post anyways. I might be able to add you too.
Expectations
All Poetry Exchange participants are expected to post their reviews in a timely fashion within the weeks so that the next round can get under way.
1) If you miss reviewing during Round One, please review the Round One poems during Round Two as well as your Round Two poems.
2) If someone has unexpectedly dropped the exchange without reviewing any of their poems, the poems of active participants will be reviewed by pitying poets.
In other words, I'll send out a PM with the poems that still need their first or second review on 2/27 and ask people to fill in the gaps.
3) Please subscribe to this topic.
