The Imaginary Word
Imaginary Word Mission Statement


All poets, and all poetry, are welcome here.

This community is not just about the writing or the marketing of poetry but the state of it. How much poetry is being read, or listened to? How can poets reach a wider audience? How can we, as poets, explore and come to understand the diversity and beauty of poems from around the world? How can we, as poets, support poetry -- and what can be done through poetry? By reading more of it, by responding to more of it, and by creating more of it. The success of any writing is not always in it's beauty or its message but in its exposure. Let's support those publications and those presses who go out of their way to bring good poetry into the world, support those people and services that bring poets, publications and readers together for their mutual benefit. Please, join us in our discussions and creations. All are welcome here.

If you are interested in joining this community, please email imaginaryword@yahoo.com with your name, the username you register on the board with, and the title of your favorite poem - this last to be sure you are a real person. Please use the subject line "Poetry Workshop".

The Imaginary Word
Reappropriating Blogs and New Projects


Here we are, a lot of time has passed since this blog had any use at all - but that is about to change...

After some wonderful discussions on LiveJournal, a new workshop and discussion group has come into being. The Imaginary Word, a place for all who love poetry.

You can find the workshop here: http://specpoet.proboards.com/index.cgi

Our goals are simple: to have a welcoming place to discuss poetry in all forms, from all nations, and perhaps help each other better our own work and get our poems out into the world for all to see.

If you'd like to join us, the process is very simple. Register for the board and follow the directions in the process for joining post. Yes, it is two seconds of extra work for you, but for me, the admin, it means many less spammers to weed out and far less frustration.

If you are interested in poetry, if you are a poet looking for other poets to work with and talk with, please consider stopping by.
