For kicks I typed into Google my name followed by the word Poetry.
I was taken to a list of several sites showing my name, but the one that got my attention was "Lori Jones McCaffery: Poetry." I clicked on that and bam ! there was my whole chronological listing of titles, exactly like you'd find it here. Anyone can access every poem by clicking on the title. Who put that list on Google? Is everyone's list on Google too? I didn't give permission to anyone and I'm a bit upset. It's kind of fun to have all my stuff available to anyone interested but I would have liked to have been asked first because I have been plagiarized before and had to fight for my writing.
