[LM_NET] GEN: teen poetry "open-mic" wiki

[Marcia Mardis <mmardis@WAYNE.EDU>]

***Apologies for cross-postings***

Hello  MAME and LM_NET members,

I thought many of you might be interested in this great new
resources and promote it in your schools:

The Internet Public Library (http://www.ipl.org/div/teenpoet/) has  
created a
wiki for teen poets, and we're looking for teens with a talent for  
words or
expression who want to join.

The IPL TeenSpace Poetry Wiki is a community-friendly place for teens  
to:
-post their poems
-receive peer responses
-try their hand at individual and group exercises
-add a line to our daily Exquisite Corpse
-and learn about some of the greatest poets from Antiquity until the  
20th
century.

If teens simply want to post responses to others' work, they can do  
that as
well.  Anyone who wishes to contribute to the wiki must fill out our  
form to
join the wiki, but our hope is to eventually let the community of  
users take
over most of the administration of this site. Until then, we will  
monitor
the wiki for any content that we deem inappropriate, and block the  
wiki's
abusers (and their ISP addresses) from further contributions. All  
members
are kept anonymous, and of course, everyone else is free to read the  
work
and responses.
