Poetry by and for the Homeless- click here |
Anyway, I started noticing more homeless poets and started collecing their poetry and promising to "put you online if I get a chance". So, voila!, I got a chance to register a domain name and picked iPoet.com (the "i" is for "i"tinerant). Looking through the iPoet archive, I see that Ricky Teague and Richard Spadaro are the only two homeless poets whom I met "on the street" somewhere. Then there was Jimbow Bailey and Katrina Trea whom I met on the Albany Bulb where they were camped. Meeting them was the immediate trigger to starting this website. The poetry from Ricky Teague I had collected a year or two earlier and had it in my desk. Yeah. Oh, and I wanted to mention that I stumbled upon the Nuyorican Poets Cafe website and I wished I were in NYC to go visit there. First time for that. Wishing I were in New York, that is. A lot of fine poets touch down there: Darren Sardelli and his iPoet.org Laugh-a-Lot poetry is there. Chalmers University of Technology is in Sweden though, so their offer of their own brand of "iPoet" scholarships may be hard to find by the average New Yorker - And then SourceForge has "iPoet" software for "creating computer-generated poetry Now, onto: The Homeless Poets' Poetry Archive / Cafe Zero 244 Oct 17, 2017 |
