Amazing Content

I was over browsing around on the website of Poetry Foundation, and found a treasure of poetry, old and new, as well as blogs (come on, they publish Jeffrey McDaniel and Patricia Smith!). There's a problem with the way the Poetry Magazine site renders poetry on browsers other than Internet Explorer (I really hope they fix that), but the rest of the site is fabulous. There's almost a hundred years of archives, and it's among the best poetry published in the USA during that time. Impressive. There's also a blog (the same one where they published McDaniel and Smith, and dozens of others), called Harriet. I expect I shall waste many hours there (and on the rest of the site in general) in the future. How about a "poetry search" where you can specify any of about 8 different criteria? How about a search for poems on a certain occasion? Good reviews. Good poems. Links. Photos. The works. See ya.
