Facebook for poets?
Check out the new Read Write Poem, now with a burgeoning social network for poets and fans of poetry (powered by the WordPress über-plugin BuddyPress), and with many more regular features on tap for the front end. This is much more than a weekly poetry prompt site now. Here’s a rundown of the new features.
Founder and director Dana Guthrie Martin and community manager Nathan Moore served as guest editors for qarrtsiluni’s mammoth and ground-greaking Mutating the Signature issue. News manager Deb Scott and several of the senior contributors to RWP have also contributed work to qarrtsiluni. And for what it’s worth, qarrtsiluni co-editor Dave Bonta is enthusiastically on board, forming groups for video poetry and political poetry, friending everyone in sight, and even volunteering to write a monthly column on a subject he knows little about, “O Tech.” We hope to see you all there.
