An Anthology of Metered Poetry
Dedicated to the
late
Judson Jerome
whose excellent books taught me how to
understand and appreciate poetry

The Poem Tree site is not
being developed right now.
I keep it open in case I find the time to get back to it,
but my internet business keeps me incredibly busy.
Published poets can send submissions, but it is not
likely that I'll get to them any time soon. I apologize
to all my readers and contributors.

Introduction
Thank you for visiting my
web site. This site is an online poetry anthology, with an emphasis on metered
poetry, both traditional and modern. Some excellent free verse is
also included. After a century in which free verse
dominated, metered poetry is making a comeback (although many poets
never abandoned it). The purpose of this anthology is to present
to the public the many excellent formalist poets who are now publishing,
and also to popularize the genre. Unfortunately, some of the best
20th-century poetry is still under copyright and cannot be printed
because of the expense of reprint fees.
In
addition to poetry, I seek articles and essays on all aspects of poetry and the writing
process. The suggestions and comments of readers will be useful in helping
me to construct a better site, so please don't hesitate to write.
