   > I'd call this guy a "buried treasure". He's a retired English prof who   
   started his website back in the 90s, and has been quietly sending at least one   
   poem a week out into cyberspace ever since, all of them free for noncommercial   
   sites to use. Over the    
   years he's added new features like a Substack and a YouTube channel, meaning   
   that if I use one of his poems I get to embed the video as a bonus. I don't   
   want to add him to PPP, because he's strictly noncommercial and might get   
   turned off by the Fandom    
   ads, so I'm using is own bio on his own page instead of giving him a PPP one   
   for now. For now I'm hoping PPB can bring him some YT views, as his are low   
   (less than 50 views for this one). So we'll have to see what happens, but I'm   
   quite optimistic at    
   this point.
