I can certainly feature poets who are available on-line but I like being able to read a book on the couch and dog-ear corners and then put a post together on-line. That's why I go to a different library now, just for the feel of a book in my hands instead. Old fashioned, yes, but the feeling is worth it.Poet Houndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105553133665280701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207482146920564041.post-29037422824976725362008-03-04T18:18:00.000-05:002008-03-04T18:18:00.000-05:00I am a little puzzled.

Why do you need to seek out another one? All the poems are on-line and therefore available to all. All you need do is write your blog entry introducing them and highlighting whatever takes your interest.Jim Murdochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786388638146471193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207482146920564041.post-70287926943095996662008-03-04T18:03:00.000-05:002008-03-04T18:03:00.000-05:00Thanks Jim, I wrote the list down and hope to brin...Thanks Jim, I wrote the list down and hope to bring it next time I'm at a different library I've decided to frequent. Hopefully I can get back to the regular Tuesday feature for dead poets.Poet Houndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105553133665280701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207482146920564041.post-78822886859535803412008-03-04T12:28:00.000-05:002008-03-04T12:28:00.000-05:00You might find these links a real help:Poem Hunter...You might find these links a real help:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.poemhunter.com/" REL="nofollow">Poem Hunter</A><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Northern_Irish_poets" REL="nofollow">Irish Poets</A><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:English_poets" REL="nofollow">English Poets</A><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Scottish_poets" REL="nofollow">Scottish poets</A><BR/><BR/>but here are a few dead poets you might want to have a look at.
