Does anyone know any good poetry blogs? Like, just something that updates with new poems fairly regularly. Google turned up some stuff, but it's tough separating wheat from chaff, especially with something as hit-or-miss as poetry. posted by chairmanroflmao to writing & language (13 comments total)

Are you looking for one poet regularly posting new poems or a blog of poems from all sorts of random places? What sort of poetry do you like? posted by mattbucher at 12:36 PM on December 1, 2008
I was looking for original poems. I have plenty of poetry anthologies, but I don't really know anything about contemporary poetry. posted by chairmanroflmao at 12:52 PM on December 1, 2008
Also, how did I not know about The Writer's Almanac? Garrison Keillor reading poetry every day? HELL YES. posted by chairmanroflmao at 12:58 PM on December 1, 2008 [1 favorite has favorites]
Kind of a shitty thing to do, but self-link. And then there's this guy, who is kind of interesting and writes pretty frequently.
Unfortunately, I can't list any other original poetry blogs for the reason you state above. There are tons of them, mostly unreadable. I'd be interested to find some more, too. posted by peggynature at 1:16 PM on December 1, 2008

My friend who teaches poetry at NYU has a blog where she puts her own poems and other thoughts (which are usually also poetic), here. posted by rmless at 2:45 PM on December 1, 2008
Here are some other places to find great new poetry online:
I really enjoy the daily rhyme, but he himself describes it as "not quite poetry." It's fun, anyway posted by blackunicorn at 3:53 PM on December 1, 2008
What sort of poetry are you interested in? Any particular writers you admire? Are you looking for newcomers or established authors? I have a website of poems and such (hope that was ok to mention), but again, it all depends on the kind of work you like. Fill us in with more detail so we can help out! posted by scarello at 5:13 PM on December 1, 2008
