    Playgrounds Magazine / December 2014 issue.

    Circulation: 10,000 copies per month, every month, for nearly twenty
    years.

    That's the distribution method for such an arts paper, yes.

    Creative Loafing seems to be one of the models for such a
    publication....

    Creative Loafing was definitely a local inspiration for Playgrounds
    Magazine, yes., Rex.


    It was a better success I suppose....

    In a major way, yes.....

    Let them whine, they still can't top the achievement.

    HTH and HAND.

    Playgrounds Magazine / December 2014 issue.

    Circulation: 10,000 copies per month, every month, for nearly twenty years.

    As with any publication, we have no control over where these thousands of copies circulate to.

    I still haven't seen anyone else here on the poetry group yet to match the audience reach potential I had for nearly twenty years.

    Can any other poet here top it?

    HTH and HAND.

    Again, who here can top that?

    Anyone who's had one poem published in a small press/indie *poetry* zine with a circulation of 100 copies.

    Again, you flatter yourself, and you glorify your small press days. I was involved in small press myself, and edited a poetry and art zine for years (which was listed in Poet's Market during the mid-1990s), so I know that scene well, also.

    My poetry and column was published monthly at 10,000 copies per issue for nearly twenty years.

    In other words, I topped your lifetime circulation in one month.



    If you had 10K monthly readers


    Playgrounds Magazine had that circulation, every month for nearly twenty years, that's a fact.

    you'd be more successful, and better known, than Bukowski.

    That's debatable, of course.

    Mickey Rourke would have played you in a movie (or, perhaps Avery Schreiber).

    "Barfly" was a great movie, even though Bukowski didn't like it.

    Faye Dunaway as Buk's alcoholic girlfriend, another brilliant performance from one of my all-time favorite actresses.

    And so it goes.

    Fish Wrap.

    left in piles in various stores, bars and coffee shops around town

    That's the distribution method for such an arts paper, yes.

    That is correct...
