Question: What is the best poetry site you know!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
It depends on whether you want to submit poetry for review, for others to read, or simply want to read the poetry of others!.

If you want to submit poetry for publication, get a copy of "Poets Market" and find a publisher that is looking for the type of poetry you write!. You'll find thousands of publishers who pay in either money or free copies of their publication, as well as others who will simply publish your poems at no charge, but pay nothing!. The book will tell you "how" to submit, what format to use, and many other useful things!.

If you want to submit your poetry for critique and review, YA is fine!. Understand, however, that you'll get a mixed bag of comments because most of those who will review your poems are not in the business and are simply providing their perspective (honest or otherwise)!. There are other websites that offer a variety of critique levels and I'd suggest you google them and try each one out for yourself!. Some may seem a little brutal, others may seem like they enjoy everything anyone writes!.!.!.it's really a mixed bag!.

If you simply want to read the poetry of others, go to the bookstore and purchase an anthology!. If you're new to poetry, I'd recommend "The best loved poems of the American people"!. If it's not in stock, they can order it for you and you should have it in a few days!. I've found it to be a very well organized anthology that provides a wide variety of poetic styles, and each one is either famous or at least written by a very successful poet!.
