Top: Arts: Literature: Poetry

This is for websites whose main purpose is to provide a directory or list of poetry websites. If your website consists primarily of poems you or other non-published poets have written, use "Arts/Online Writing/Poetry" instead. If your website consists primarily of poems by published poets, then use "Arts/Literature/Poetry/Electronic_Text_Archives". If your website is a mixture of the above, then use the general "Arts/Literature/Poetry" category. If your website is a guide to other poetry websites, then use this category ("Arts: Literature: Poetry: Directories").

Criticism and Theory

This category includes poetry criticism and theory in the form of book reviews, essays, treatises and articles. The material covers a wide range - from contemporary to classic, regional to international.

While some online journals and literary reviews are included, it is not primarily a category for webzines.

E-zines that feature poetry that exists only online should be submitted in the Online Writing category.

This category at the Open Directory Project is for listing websites of print magazines featuring poetry. Online magazines (e-zines) that have printed literature as the subject may also be included in this category.

E-zines featuring writing that exists only online, whether in the form of a webzine, available by email or by downloading in a format such as PDF, can be found in the Online Writing category.

Organizations

This site is for Poetry Organizations, Clubs, and Societies that can be either Web based or physical entities. A poetry organization is comprised of a membership of more than one individual, and exists to promote poets and poetry as its primary purpose.

Additionally, organizations hold scheduled meetings or provide an online forum in which member poets gather, promote member poets and their work and offer activities that promote the art of poetry, whether it be readings, an e-zine, books, workshops, festivals, or other related activities.

A poetry organization may have an e-zine, other publications or a forum, but these should not be its only function. E-zines and forums are not in themselves organizations. - Poetry E-zines should post their links to the /Arts/Literature/Poetry/Magazines_and_E-zines/ category and forums should post their links ot Arts/Online_Writing/Poetry/Chats_and_Forums/.

A poetry organization may belong to or possess a web ring, but again, that cannot be its only function. A web ring is not a poetry organization. It only possesses a verifiable membership, but does not include the other functions of an organization. Webrings should post to /Arts/Online_Writing/Webrings

Personal Poets with online communities may not post here as the Web site's main purpose is to promote the individual poet, and not the forum in itself.

Please do not post sites that have dead internal links or that have no relevance to this category. All sites are visited by physical reviewers and we only want to visit sites that are useful for the category.

The category is for the submission of poetry organizations. A poetry organization is comprised of a membership of more than one individual and exists to promote poets and poetry.

It is further defined as: 1. Having a verifiable membership 2. Having a scheduled meeting or online forum for the poets to gather in. 3.
