POETRY.ORG from the Academy of American Poets


On the right side of this blog is a list of categories with links to websites about writing, arts and culture, and other topics that might be of interest to you.  One example is POETS.org from the Academy of American Poets.  It is a comprehensive site with essays about poetry and poets and videos of poets reading and discussing their work.

You can find essays on writing and poetry craft and spotlights on major 20th Century writers like Ezra Pound and Allen Ginsberg, and emerging writers like Kevin Young and Suji Kwock Kim. There are videos with poets from the academy's own archives and a selection from the web.  In one video Ada Limón talks about the role of poets in our culture and the benefits they might find on the internet today.
