Hi MAME and LM_NET members- **Apologies for cross-postings** The IPL Poetry Open Mic Wiki is now open and ready for your students' poetic contributions. Be sure to check out the other great things in this section of the IPL, too, like the other poetry resources, the Graphic Novels Guide, and the Procrastinator section. In case you're wondering what a poetry open mic is, check out my original message below. Poetically yours, Marcia Mardis ---Original Message--- 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 monitorthe wiki for any content that we deem inappropriate, and block the wiki's abusers (and their IP addresses) from further contributions. All members are kept anonymous, and of course, everyone else is free to read the work and responses. --- M.A. Mardis, MILS, EdD Assistant Professor The Library and Information Science Program Wayne State University -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
