So like “Poetry Speaks” (the book), you wind your way through and discover different poems through whatever means you like. It’s not a poetry class, and it’s not static—it’s ever-changing. It’s more like play.
We’ve taken many of the most successful ideas on the Web and applied them uniquely to poetry. So, for example, our YourMic section is a cross between YouTube and MySpace—but for poetry. It’s a space open to all to upload their own video, audio and text, all for free. Burgeoning poets will be able to participate in contests and join online poetry communities to further their craft. For the unpublished and the up-and-comers, we hope it will be a home.
