| Although this website’s
objective is simply to promote the art of poetry, its special focus
is the rich bounty of work created by our state’s poets past and
present. Through features on the work of Illinois poets, the site
will highlight the poetic legacy of Illinois and showcase the bevy
of fine poets currently writing within the state. |
