I have said before that my own readership is a totally anonymous mass
of mainly Americans on the WEb reading between 1000 and 3000 runs of
poems in a month. [That is as precise as I can be]. This totally dwarfs
my books which I have lovingly created over the years. [Even the SAlzburg
book uses my design]. I wouldnt miss having my own books but realise
that they are little read and exist mainly in libraries unread.
My annotated edition of a dozen Robert Burns' poems and songs also gets
between 1000 and 3000 readings a month. This is a good teaching tool if
people are interested because I have accumulated massive notes and have
added a glossary.
Oh to be a Faber poet!
