Would you read a poetry book? Be honest

So I’ve been putting blood sweat and tears into a book I’m writing, and I’ve honestly never wanted something to be successful so bad in my life. Like I’m worried when it’ll be finished because it’s given me so much drive and direction.

I know I should create just for the sake of creating, but I’m human at the end of the day, and I truly just want to at least have enough recognition to get it professionally published one day.

So I really just wanna know, what percentage of the general public even reads poetry?

What turns you off about poetry ?

Would you ever even pick up a poetry book?

When you think “poetry” what do you think of?

Would you ever be interested in doing some cold reads for poetry, to give honest feedback?
