Poets On Twitter 2.0

In May, I posted the first Poets on Twitter list in response to the Mashable.com list of 100 writers on Twitter, which didn't include any poets. That list brought thousands (more than 4,000 in just two days) to Modern Confessional and prompted publisher Didi Menendez to suggest we co-edit an edition of OCHO literary magazine featuring poets on Twitter. It was an amazing experience.

Of course, there were many poets who didn't make the list or who weren't on Twitter at the time. This list is by no means complete, and if I overlooked you -- all apologies. I used the same criteria as the last list: individual poets who identify themselves by their real name and are actively tweeting. Following the denial-of-service attack on Thursday, Twitter has been acting up and some folks accounts no longer seem to be active. If that's the case, let me know and I'll make sure to add you.

There are familiar names here and not-so-familiar names. That's what the list is for -- to introduce poets of all sorts. So, without further ado: Poets on Twitter 2.0
