Poetryetc

p o e t r y e t c p r o j e c t s

Poetryetc is a listserv relating to poetry and poetics which provides a forum for poets to debate their critical and creative work. The list has over the years run a number of projects for its members, of which Snapshots has been the most enduring.

Every Wednesday, Poetryetc members were invited to post short poems on any subject or in any form they chose. The idea was to make a poetic collage of instamatic snaps of that day that reflected the international membership of the list. The project has generated an astounding number of poems.

The first two runs, of six weeks each, and the first ten weeks of the third run, are archived at Wild Honey Press under Poetryetc Project. The next batch - amounting in all to a run of more than a year - are archived at The Drunken Boat. The same run is continued here.

Poetryetc, like its affiliate Salt Publishing (http://www.saltpublishing.com), was founded by Australian poet John Kinsella. Salt is managed by Christopher Hamilton-Emery, while Poetryetc is owned by Alison Croggon and Randolph Healy. Poetryetc is archived at http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/poetryetc.html and anyone interested can join from that url. These pages are maintained by Alison Croggon and Randolph Healy.

Poets who have contributed to this run of snapshots include:
