Let's talk poetry. The question this time is: Why put your poetry onchain? Or why collect onchain? Have you created NFTs or coins from your poems? Or have you collected them? Why? Why not? Curious to learn about what moves you in your choice of publishing your work.

both yes I collect to support emerging poets I create because I like the freedom it offers: not only reg the lack of middle-men, but also because I feel it’s part of a space where ppl want to discover underground projects, far from what the mainstream market wants/support. I really feel I wouldn’t have the freedom & support to develop what I’m doing without the web3 space and supports. I feel my project is waaaaaay to “odd” to have found an audience on the mainstream scene. also because I believe in crypto & like the idea that ppl can support with it, offering them an alternative way to support (maybe, for whatever reason, they can’t with fiat or otherwise). I also feel it’s easier now to support with a little (ex: the tips on Farcaster) and make a big difference (at lease for me it does make one) I think that all 😅

created yes, collected no. I like the permanence of creating on-chain, plus the possibility for monetization. It's not the best medium for consumption of written work, though.

Unfortunately my experience with NFTs was not very rewarding (neither spiritually nor financially). I found the process cumbersome and frustrating despite taking some workshops. I only ever sold a tiny handful of art and poetry pieces, earning less than coffee money. My urge to write and draw springs from a deep need to express myself and sort through my emotions, but I have always craved reach and feedback, and found that the NFT world offered me little. I am certain this due to my own fumbles and not any fault of the ecosystem. The best part of the whole NFT experiment for me was meeting our host - a classy and earnest steward of the community with a clear passion for poetry.

Love this question + convo! I’m a poet who has minted & sold poems (mainly ETH & Tezos). Big advocate for it, but not waterboarding myself with the koolaid. In other words, I still deeply respect the paper page. That said, blockchain is a powerful publishing platform. Freedom + flexibility are built in wrt to medium, timing, and pricing among other aspects. Digital tools breathe new life into poems the way paper pages can’t— movement, sound, etc. Also one can build community around your practice and a poem. You know (or have a better idea of) who your readers are, which is huge and not always common on trad publishing world.

So far, I’ve been most interested in using poetry as prompts for AI art, then pairing the poem with the result Onchain. I wish I could see how poetry could become a desirable consumable in itself on the blockchain, but it’s such a visual place, as far as NFTs go, anyway… most folks see just text on an nft and keep scrolling.
