Poetry Foundation

The Poetry Foundation, established in 2003, was created through a fund provided by Ruth Lilly. Since its creation, the Foundation has grown by leaps and bounds, and one of their best public outreach efforts is this website. With a well-thought out visual design, their homepage is a great starting point for learning more about the world of poetry. Sections on the homepage include “Publishing”, “Features”, “Dispatches”, and “Archive”. Visitors may wish to go back to the past and examine the archive, which includes thousands of poems, several lists of “favorite” poets, and a visual archive that features cartoons that address the subject of poetry. Visitors looking to delve into some current material will definitely appreciate the “Cover Story” feature. Here visitors can listen to Paul Giamatti and Alfred Molina read Browning’s “Fra Lippo Lippi” and “My Last Duchess” respectively, as well as read a historic piece from Poetry magazine where Carl Sandburg offers solid praise of Ezra Pound. Overall, the site merits numerous visits and is quite a gem.
