WHEN BLOGS BECOME BOOKS, PART 2

I should clarify my prior post. When I wrote,
unless the book becomes more than just a polished version of what's already been blogged, I think the result is aesthetically unambitious, not to mention environmentally shoddy.

I was referring to mostly prose work done on blogs (like memoir-ish stuff) vs the posting of poems or early drafts of poems on blogs before such blogs are culled for creating poetry collections. I don't mean ever to discourage the writing of poems on blogs, ... walls, notebooks, back of envelopes, beaches and so on. I fully support writing the planet into one big whole poem...!
