What goes into a poetry book

Words, words, words

However, the building blocks of a poetry book are the words, and there are lots of them. There are many stories to tell about Old & Unwise – A Haphazard Collection of Poetry and Thought, but those are for another day. Today I will just leave you some numbers.
