Atticus Poetry

Atticus is a pen name and nobody outside the publisher knows whose. He appears in photographs wearing a mask, is understood to be Canadian, and built an audience of millions on a social platform posting a few lines at a time about love, drink and leaving. LVOE collects that. The form belongs to the platform rather than to the poetry tradition, which is the standing objection to the whole category, and the reply from readers is that they were not reading any poetry at all before. The anonymity is part of the product and worth naming as such.
