People underestimate what they can accomplish in a year. One year ago today, I published my first poem. Since then I have: - produced 12 issues of bitpunk.fm - shipped or hand delivered over 300 tapes - Read over 190 poems on 38 live poetry shows, every Friday. - Published to bitpunkfm.substack.com over 140 poems - 7 open mic performances including 1 in Prague - Participated in 2 satellite spotlights - Had 2 poems and 2 photos published in 1 subversive zine - Performed poetry at 1 Dark Prague event Some people count sats, followers, downloads, or other metrics, but these are the metrics that matter to me. Thanks everyone who has been following along. I am excited to keep the tapes rolling this next year and launch my first poetry book and audio book, wastedblood.com
