Super Sex Honey Flies is "Poetry Off the Page"-- a digital directory and storehouse for all types of poetry found on the web. It will become a database where one can find information on how poetry has been changed by the interweb for better or for worse. Furthermore, Super Sex Honey Flies is a venue to publish poetry and a workshop where other poets and readers can give direction, suggestions, and ideas to each other.
My favorite poetry is the least restricted. That being said, I want this site to exist without restrictions. Mission statements can be difficult to pin down, so for now, Super Sex Honey Flies exists... It has to do with poetry, and that's it. Let's see where we can take it from here.
Poetry on the web...where is it?
ReplyDeleteHere's an intriguing site: www.poetryark.org
I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. Sometimes I get on there to read what people are putting up, because it is a contest after all, so logically this should represent the best work of the contributors. The problem I have, is that the poems I find most striking are rarely the ones that receive the best scores. I am wondering what type of poets participate in this thing, and if the entire idea of a contest is making a mockery of poetry...? (Though I admit, I have participated in it before...with less than desirable results)
Thoughts?
