When I have time, I do enjoy poetry.... Here is today's tipple from the Free Pint Bar... The following new messages have been posted on The Free Pint Bar at <http://www.freepint.co.uk/bar>. MESSAGE: (#3204) Today's Tipple From Free Pint - Poetry http://www.freepint.co.uk/cgi-bin/webbbs/config.pl?review=3204 AUTHOR: Simon Collery <[log in to unmask]> DATE: 10/5/0 4:06 p.m. http://www.geocities.com/~spanoudi/poems/index.html There have been a lot of postings about music on the Free Pint Bar, and some articles in the Newsletter too. So for a change, I thought I'd look up what poetry resources were available. I expected to come across several good quality sites and lots of appalling ones. In fact I spent a long time looking and just came up with a couple of good sites. I'm sure there are others but I ran out of time. Anyhow, if you work in an office where music is not welcomed, try poetry instead. All the better if music is permitted, because then you can read the poetry out loud. With nearly 6000 works and 700 poets, you really can have a good time looking through this collection. Oddly enough, when using the search function you have to search twice, to cover two different sites. This is a pity, but if you are using the site for recreational purposes, you probably won't mind so much. The free search is handy, but you are better off searching the alphabetical list of authors or titles. There's even a subject index which shows how much work goes into maintaining this site. And it makes an excellent way of browsing. These are all out of copyright works, in case anyone was worried. And if you have some favourite works you can send them in, as long as they are out of copyright also. The site is a bit slow, but once you get going, you can open things in new pages and read while waiting for something else to load. There are links to other things of interest, such as biographies, bibliographies, other poetry sites, societies, etc. It's only fair to mention that it was the following site that led me to this charming resource: http://www.cswnet.com/~erin/ so thank you to 'Erin' for creating this. Erin's lovely site is also dedicated to poetry and is well worth a look around. Cheers Simon Business Development, Free Pint PS If you have any comments on today's reviewed site, good or bad, feel free to post them here.
