Welcome to the forum for the People's Poetry Network.
The American humourist, journalist and author, Donald Marquis once said:
Although the view of American humourist, journalist and author Donald Marquis seems rather bleak, it is not entirely without truth. It can be difficult to garner any recognition or exposure for works of poetry, even in this interconnected, globalised world with live in. This is where People's Poetry Network comes in.
The People's Poetry Network, consisting of this forum, the main People's Poetry site, a blog and facebook and twitter accounts, is designed to give poets an additional platform to promote themselves and their work. As we grow the network we will actively promote our members, including their published works in our Bookstore and encouraging reviews. This Forum will provide a welcoming and friendly environment in which to discuss the art of poetry and receive constructive criticisms where requested.
As we develop the site and membership grows further resources will be added, including information on publishing and publishers, contests and competitions and upcoming events in the world of poetry. In the future we intend to run our own competitions for our members and provide publishing services and dedicated Poet Pages.

"Publishing a volume of verse is like dropping
a rose petal down the Grand Canyon and waiting
for the echo."
