I had looked at Zoetrope a while back and they didn't have anything for poets. I joined and can hardly wait to see what it's like. Pam, if you have literary-minded family members, that's great. I stay away from family members and usually recommend others do the same because family members usually say they like it no matter what. They don't want to hurt your feelings. Mine just look at me cross-eyed coz I don't always use monosyllabic words. ;-) Thanks for the tip Jim. I had looked at Zoetrope a while back and they didn’t have anything for poets.

You might not get the in depth review you'd like but it's always interesting to see what others do and don't get. You can actually learn quite a lot even from a bad review. http://www.zoetrope.com/ Why not simply join a site like Zoetrope where you can post your poems?

I tend to use family members to look at individual poems (I have two that have a wonderful gift for editing). I don't know what would happen if I asked them to look at an entire collection; since they are unpaid it might be years before they finish. Keep me informed about the on-line group if anything comes of this idea. This is an interesting proposal.
