When I'm stumped for new poems, nothing beats the simple google search. Poem+Classic+Awesome+(whatever other generic search term I can come up with) and BAM!! Poem magic:-) On today's random search, I discovered Poetry Daily. This great site is pretty much an anthology of great works that's easy to browse and fun to explore. They also have a paperback anthology that was released in 2003, so even if you're not much of a fan of the Internet, there's no excuse for not checking them out. More details below.
Enjoy!
Poetry Daily is an anthology of contemporary poetry. Each day, we bring you a new poem from new books, magazines, and journals.
Poems are chosen from the work of a wide variety of poets published or translated in the English language. Our most eminent poets are represented in the selections, but also poets who are less well known. The daily poem is selected for its literary quality and to provide you with a window on a very broad range of poetry offered annually by publishers large and small. Included with each poem is information about the poet and the poem's source.
Did you know the original/real title of And Then There Were None, is Ten Little Niggers?
