Advanced Writing: Poetry
English 303  Spring 2010
Jeff Gundy

Welcome to this resource page for English 303.  This page mainly contains links to sites on modern and contemporary poetry, most of which include their own links to further sites.  Note: these links worked when this page was updated in January 2010, and I have tried to include only sites that seem especially valuable in one way or another, but the Net changes fast.  Surf at your own risk.

The Poetry Foundation A daily poem and links to lots more: the “Harriet” poetry blog, information and poems by many poets, a “Poetry Tool” for searching out poems, audio and podcasts, etc.

Poetry Daily A new poem every day.  Excellent site with an archive of past poems and links to poetry news and features.  You can order books through the site or sign up for their free weekly newsletter.

Verse Daily Another very good daily-poem site.

Litline An excellent entry site for links to literary journals (print and online) and small presses. If you’re looking to send out your poems, this is a fine place to get information on who’s looking for material, their reading periods, and how to submit.

Poets.org Another rich site, run by the Academy of American Poets. Try clicking Ohio on the “National Poetry Map” and you’ll find writers, presses, and writing programs around the state.

Norton Poets Online Includes information on poets published by Norton, and more. The "Poetry Links" are especially useful.
