Survivor Poet Discussion:
“who you'd like to see in the tribes for our next Survivor Poet game...”
 

You have spoken, Dear Readers, nearly 2 to 1: Emily “the Virgin” Dickinson is the sole Survivor Poet inhabiting the About Poetry Island. Here's the official vote tally from the final round of our game:

256 votes (65%)      Dickinson
136 votes (35%)      Poe

392 votes total

We thank you all for joining in the game, & hope you'll come back in June to participate in our second Survivor Poet game -- this time we'll name two tribes of poets to compete against each other for survival on the About Poetry Island.

You can help by suggesting poets you think should be in the new tribes, in the Poetry Forum's Survivor Poet Discussion (dead poets only, please, from long enough ago that we can post poems during the voting period without copyright worries).

Bob Holman & Margy Snyder
