I've got great news this week! World Class Poetry has just got better. In two different ways.

First, we now have our own searchable database. You can search the World Class Poetry website or the World Class Poetry Blog from within our website, and you can also search the Web using the same search form. Right now, the form exists in two places - on our blog and on the Petrarchan Sonnet page of the website. Soon it will be on every page!

The second way we've improved is to provide you with your very own World Class Poetry Toolbar - totally free. You can download the toolbar simply by clicking here. Or click the banner below:

Go ahead, do it! I dare you.

Call For Submissions!

Send me your original poetry. If it meets my strict standards then I'll publish it in Hyperbole and on the World Class Poetry Blog. Previously published poems are OK as long as you own the copyright. Use the WCP contact form.

Submit your criticism and reviews to Hyperbole. Interviews of published poets welcome. Prose about poetry - send it. Our only bias: High quality.

And when all else fails, write a poem.
