"There is no such thing as historical inevitability.  History is what one makes it."--Pierre Boulez                                                                    
The Long Poem Library

Welcome!  This is a brand new digital library of contemporary long poems by contemporary poets. It is my fervent hope that the library will grow and flourish. Aesthetically, the site is intended to be unobtrusive, in order to showcase the poetry and the poetry alone. The most important factor is, again, newness!  There are no  rules. There shouldn't be, especially with poetry. You are the library.

Moreover, The Long Poem Library is NOT affiliated with a college or university, or creative writing program, or to anyone who has pull and sway within the literary establishment. You do NOT need name recognition or impressive credentials or a fancy CV to be published here.  Everyone is welcome.  The poesy is king.
