I am constantly trying to improve the services I offer poets and poetry lovers, both on my website and on my blog. I have recently made some changes and additions that I think you will love (or not).
On the blog, I’ve moved the World Class Poetry Search feature to the left sidebar to make room for the World Class Bookstore. Right now, you’ll see an Amazon search box there instead, but soon you will see the WCP bookstore icon. Stay tuned; coming soon.
The World Class Poetry Toolbar is picking up speed as more and more people are starting to use it now. Thanks to those of you who have faith! Through the toolbar, you have access to several RSS feeds including the World Class Poetry Blog and website, Davy Barry’s blog, Yahoo! Arts, Guardian Unlimited, and The Village Voice. You also have a cool messaging feature that allows you to communicate with everyone using the toolbar (great for marketing your own poetry books and website or blog), and you can browse YouTube videos and Flickr photos from the toolbar. Plus, you can listen to hundreds of radio stations from the toolbar as well and you can search the Web. More features on the way soon. Just click the toolbar banner on the right sidebar of the blog to get yours.
At the World Class Poetry website, I’ve uploaded several poetry audio files. You can now listen to me reading one of several poems that have been published at various places, some online and some off line. But these are poems that are previously published and some of them are poems that I wrote while stationed in Iraq in 2005. A list of the poem titles include:
On each page there is a written version of the poem and a link to the audio recording. Just click the link above to go to the page where that poem is written and where the audio recording has been uploaded. There will be more such features coming soon.
You can stay up to date with all World Class Poetry developments by subscribing to my newsletter, Hyperbole. Your information is kept private and never shared. Each week you’ll receive an issue of the e-zine with the latest uploads and updates to both the World Class Poetry Blog and World Class Poetry website.
