Fitzgerald to the World Class Poetry Toolbar. Today I’d like to offer you two free poetry chapbooks available for download.

  • Going Dutch – Going Dutch is actually a couple of years old, but I’m making it available for free for the first time. These are poems I wrote while on R&R leave from Iraq in 2005 when I met my wife in Germany and we toured the country by train. A nice little poetic-pictorial journey just for you.
  • Twitter Poems – Twitter Poems is the outgrowth of my Twitter poem experiment, which I conducted in April. I posted one poem a day on Twitter. Each poem was limited to 140 characters or less, a stricture placed by Twitter itself. These are the poems in a chapbook, free and available for download.

In addition to adding these two chapbooks to the toolbar, I’ve reorganized the blogs that are accessible from the toolbar as well. This was long overdue and finally I made the time to get it done. The blogs are alphabetized now for easier reference. There are 29 blogs in addition to the WCP blog and website. The latest addition is PoemShape.

Feel free to download the World Class Poetry Toolbar and enjoy your free chapbooks. There is also a call for submissions at the end of Twitter Poems.
