Are there any websites geared to poetry writers?

Ask the Literary Agent

Question: I subscribe to lots of writing magazines and go on lots of writing websites, but it seems like markets for poets and poetry writing tips are overlooked. Are there any websites that are specifically written for poetry writers?

Literary Agent Michele Glance Rooney answers:

As a matter of fact, there are several outstanding websites for poetry writers. I'm happy to recommend:

1. Academy of American Poets
http://www.poets.org/index.cfm
