PoemoftheWeek.org is an online anthology of Contemporary American Poetry. We started in 2006 as a small email list to friends, family, and colleagues that brought verse to people who were lovers and students of poetry and to those whose knowledge of poetry started and ended at The Divine Comedy.

Slowly but surely, PoemoftheWeek.org has grown in its number of recipients but has also matured with the incorporation of audio and video-recordings of our authors reading their work, original interviews regarding the poems featured (rather than regarding their entire school of thought on poetry), previously-published interviews, original and previously-published reviews of their collections, "mini-reviews" of the featured poems themselves by our Contributing-Editor, first drafts of the featured poems (when we have them!), and essays on poetics.
