Twenty Years of PoemoftheWeek.com

Twenty Years of PoemoftheWeek.com is a compilation of the best of the poems that have been featured by PoemoftheWeek.com over the course of the past twenty years. PoemoftheWeek.com was founded in 2006 and is updated weekly in the Fall and Spring. PoemoftheWeek.com supports writers of all backgrounds—quietly and without self-congratulation. Each semester they have a “silent theme,” i.e. writers of color, indigenous poets, disabled poets/poets with disabilities, poets we just like, upon whom we shine a spotlight without the bullhorn. We don’t announce what we are doing. We just do it. No tokenizing. No patting ourselves on the back. Over time, our audiences figure it out all on their own and are delighted by the discovery. Each celebration includes interviews with the poet, reviews of the collection, readings from the book, and other supplementary material that broadens the scope of the conversation between the poet and their work with the general public. PoemoftheWeek.com is an essential resource for writers, teachers, and anyone interested in contemporary American (mostly) arts and letters.
