Subject: [New-Poetry] BBC Poetry Series Drives Sales



According to Bookseller, the BBC's Poetry Season project actually motivated people to go to the bookstore. The multimedia series--with video interviews, articles, and a long list of poetry specials--generated a 92 percent increase in sales of Sylvia Plath poetry and a 300 percent increase in sales of John Donne (pictured, via) poetry.
