Young American Poets

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

These guys dropped by here a while back and I’ve been meaning to get back to their site and give it a look see for… oh, a couple of months? I finally made it, and I’m glad that I did. Don’t let the minimalist theme fool you. It just lets you focus on the important part of the site – the poems and the poets. Young American Poets is a poetry blog that accepts and publishes submissions from other poets on a regular basis. Daniel Bennett, Julian Bailey, David Weinglas and (editor-at-large), Kevin Bacon are responsible for housekeeping at Young American Poets, and they do a decent job of it, posting about 6 poems or short stories a month. If you were born before July 20, 1969, you’re welcome to read all the poetry you want there. If you’re a poet who was born after that magic date, you qualify as a young poet and can submit poetry for consideration.
