This is a really interesting Twitter feed. It's a reminder of how ephemeral much poetry is – it's so easy for it to slip past us in magazines or online, or in slim volumes which sit in the bookcase for years after their first reading.
Every now and then, I come across a poem that I decide I don't want to forget about in a hurry, so I copy it out by hand into a little personal anthology. Anybody else do that?

I keep starting to do this and then forget. It's easier, though less rewarding, to photocopy them, rather than write them out, mainly because I have to write really slowly to ensure they're legible! I do the same with song lyrics.
