What are the best websites for poetry? I'm looking for mostly contemporary and less of the "classic".

Tip for best answer: M$1.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Here are a few you might try:
http://famouspoetsandpoems.com/poets_contemporary.html - Has an alphabetized list of contemporary poets with brief bios, photos and samples of their work.

http://www.poets.org/index.php - Some good stuff, including weekly features, searches and poetry readings in your area.

http://poetry.about.com/od/contemporarypoets/Contemporary_Poets.htm - About.com has an alphabetical listing of contemporary poets as well.

http://www.americanpoems.com/ - More extensive bios and samples of work.

poetryinternational.org is an amazing website that has poems from many authors, some extremely famous and some less well-known ones. It is almost all contemporary poetry, and much of it is not readily available in bookstores. They also have an annual essay on the "Defence of Poetry" in which a poet explains the importance and vitality of poetry today.

www.wordswithoutborders.org/ is a good one as well, and it includes fiction as well as poetry

At http://www.thejohnfox.com/bookfox/2008/06/top-twelve-online-literary-journals.html there is a list of 12 online literary magazines voted most popular (again, most are fiction and poetry both)
