Sad to read this.

My first published poem had its home in Poets Unlimited, so I was quite fond of your publication.

Writing Poetry on Medium feels (now more than ever) like sailing on a small boat in the middle of the sea, without compass…

I’ve tried everything from submitting to publications to being my own editor, to the pay-metered wall, I’ve deleted my poems to self-publish them through Amazon just to find out that “self-publishing” is not good enough to submit your work to literary contests…

I’ve published in other platforms (Instagram, Facebook…) but you don’t get the feeling of community that pervades Medium.

Pity they don’t really support us Poets.

Wishing you good luck and inspiration for your future works, ottaross :)
