It's at odds or even oblivious to traditional national or international poetry. A good part of it flourished in and out of slam renewing the Ginsberg\/New American Poetry Revolution which continues on. Free Speech Poetry is vital in its reading performance lead more in larger cities, but all over I'm sure. Publish on demand services such as KDP bring books out from cooperative friends and individuals doing the typing editing layout. Locality ignites poets because of availability of live poetry events. Open readings and\/or featured readers are the venue. Proliferation of poetry books by poets themselves assures locality even when poets go places exploring venues of other non-establishment poets. The locality of publication is the result of being ignored by both the East and West Coast publisher and university establishments. And there's the dive in book reading and closing of bookstores. When you get down to it, all poetry is local.
