Manuscript Readers
A number of League members read, edit, and
critique poems and poetry manuscripts. We give
you the details here.
Publishers
It's hard to find a publisher sometimes,
especially in the maze of the Internet. These
links ought to make it a lot easier.
Writers'
Organizations
Writing may be a lonely profession at times
(have you noticed?), but we are definitely not
alone. These writing organizations bring writers
together, locally, nationally, and
internationally.
Online
Bookstores
It has never been easy to find all the poetry
books one wants, in any bookstore. Since an hour
or two in a good bookstore is one of life's
great pleasures, we're proud to say that, as of
now, pleasure's never far away.
Contests and Awards
Contests have become a necessary means of
funding for magazines and networking for
writers. We give you the scoop.
International
Poetry Festivals
The world is celebrating poetry in a big way,
and we're proud to be part of the celebration.
Poetry
Online
There's a lot of great stuff out there in the
sea of millions of poetry pages on the web.
We'll show you where to cast your net and where
to put on your fins and snorkel and be
dazzled.
Ezines
Think of it as our very own magazine rack, by
the back door. Sometimes you'll find an umbrella
jammed in there by mistake (especially in
Vancouver), but there's always something wild
and new in the world of electronic publishing.
Don't go home without it.
Electronic Culture
Because it's not just the climate that's
heating up. Here you'll find links not only to new
media performances, installations, exhibits but to
resources of many kinds.
Research
Tools
When you don't know the synonyms for
'catastrophic', or want to know how to get
published, or need some other technical
connection, or don't even know you do, you might
just plug in here. You'll also find connections to
valuable collections of links. Quite a grab bag,
really.

If you have Microsoft Publisher and Word, here's all you need to produce your poetry chapbook in a hurry. The Chapbook Template (produced in Publisher) and the Chapbook User Guide (below) will give you all you need to publish your book.
Other Resources
Because pigeons are beautiful but they don't
all live in holes.
Just for Fun
Poetry is fun, isn't it? It is. Don't miss
these links, eh.
