Poets and poetry-lovers are well served by the Internet. It provides an almost free medium for the publication of new or experimental work, and it is relatively easy to reproduce works that are beyond their copyright. Innumerable resources exist for scholars studying poetry and poetics. The downside to this freedom of publication, and consequent explosion of Web sites, is that it takes time to explore which of the many are the best for your purpose, time which could be more usefully spent if you knew where to go before you set out.
This is where Humbul can help. Whether you are searching the ‘English Studies’ records for poetry written in English, or an equivalent Humbul subject for poems in another language, the record descriptions let you know what features may be found on each site. For this topic, they have selected a handful of the best Internet sites for various purposes, from locating Old English poems to exploring the avant-garde.
