Here Are a Couple of Great Poetry Links

[UPDATE: How rude of me. I forgot to mention where I found these links.

 Lizzy, at Lizzy's Literary Life, offered these and more.]

Scottish Poetry Library

We are passionately committed to bringing the pleasures and benefits of poetry to as wide an audience as possible.   . . .

60 years in 60 poems

Brought to life using audio performance and archive footage, 60 Years in 60 Poems travels through time to unpack our shared history, celebrating individual moments alongside national events.

I Ran Across A Defunct Blog

 

I know, I know, big surprise. But this one dealt with Disability Issues and had some interesting posts, as well as a killer Blogroll. This isn't the normal offering of products & tech. Rather, it is the many different voices of people with a wide variety of disabilities who are offering their experience, advice, joys, frustrations . . .

In other words, People being people.

I combed through to weed out broken links and in most cases the sites are still live. Some are political, some are intensely personal, but all are genuine and "guaranteed" to get you thinking. I do not agree with every view point offered, but I offer them to you now in hopes that you might find information, inspiration, or a kindred spirit.
