Chapbooks and The Guardian

Chris Morton has an interesting article in The Guardian Online about the evolution of chapbooks. He argues that blogs are the chapbook’s true successors. I think he has a point and I’m glad he’s brought the subject up.

But in the comments, I couldn’t not make the point that chapbooks are still very much alive and kicking in the world of poetry publishing and have been important both to new and established poets.
