The top 10 neighbors for POETRY magazine span book publishers, news publishers, activism organizations, authors, a blog, and a non-profit — with no single subcategory dominating and scores compressed between 0.96 and 0.93.
The shape is flat: Graywolf Press leads at 0.96, followed closely by Planned Parenthood Action at 0.94, NPR Music at 0.94, Reveal at 0.94, and Mother Jones at 0.94. The spread across the full top 10 is less than three hundredths of a point. Subcategory-wise, the set breaks down as: three news publishers (NPR Music, Reveal, Mother Jones), one book publisher (Graywolf Press), one activism organization (Planned Parenthood Action), one magazine (LA Review of Books), one author (Roxane Gay), one blog (The Rumpus), and one non-profit (American Civil Liberties Union). POETRY magazine's own subcategory — Magazines — appears once in the top 10, with LA Review of Books at 0.93. The rest of the cluster is cross-kind: progressive news publishers, civil liberties and advocacy organizations, and literary-adjacent authors and blogs. No other poetry-specific entity appears in the top 10.
The flat, cross-kind shape indicates that POETRY magazine's audience is defined less by a single adjacent community than by a broad constellation of progressive media, literary culture, and civic engagement.
