Speaking for myself, I would say Yes. Even if some of the books concerned
are difficult or impossible to obtain in UK, I would still be interested to
know what is going on in the poetry world in, say, Canada -- what is being
published there, what is thought about this by those qualified to judge.
One of the reasons I subscribe to Poetryetc is to help me break out of the
insular rut, and I'm all for anything that'd help.
