The Page is a new site that aims to gather links to the web's most
interesting poetry and writing about poetry and ideas.
It is updated daily with links to new poems, articles and essays
gleaned from the full range of publications available online.
New items include:
-- ³It has fallen to Frieda Hughes to throw a sparking bomb into 42
yearsı worth of muddle and misinterpretation.² Restoring Ariel, by
Vanessa Curtis/Scotland on Sunday
-- ³Denial was invented in my familyıs living room on a Tuesday evening
in 1953. Very few people know this.² August Kleinzahler talks to Philip
Connors / Newsday
-- ³The Romantic perception that poetry is something akin to religious
feeling has become a great plague on all houses of poetry, formal or
experimental, open or closed.²
Marc Pietrzykowski / Contemporary Poetry Review
Last month The Page was chosen as Site of the Week by The Guardian's
online books page. Here's what they said:
"Neat new one-page site pointing to online poetry and essays of
interest. It's simple but effective: on the right
of the homepage is a list of links to new poems; on the left a
selection of links to literary sites, litblogs and online
poetry journals. Down the centre are featured short trails for
interesting essays and articles about poetry and ideas,
in the style of the classic of this field, Arts and Letters Daily.
It's early days, but with its promise of daily updates,
easy-to-browse design and stimulating choice of articles, The Page
looks like it might be just as bookmarkable."
