Poetry - Teens

Poetry webcasts, poetry news and events, columns from the Poet Laureate, and more. The site also has links to many other poetry-related sites, including an archive of recorded poetry and literature.

This is a great poetry resource. Here’s how they describe it on the site’s home page…“The collection covers roughly 7,000 works by about 800 poets – including some of the best known works in the English language – and many obscure and forgotten works that are well worth reading .”

This isn’t your standard poetry – there’s something for everyone. Sponsored by the Library of Congress, the introduction says, “Poems can inspire and make us think about what it means to be a member of the human race. By just spending a few minutes reading a poem each day, new worlds can be revealed.”
