This site is my attempt to achieve Joseph Brodsky’s goal of making poetry as prevalent as other forms of media. Let’s face it--a good portion of the content on the Internet is comparable to what you would find in the tabloid aisle.
To that end, I’ll post a new poem every week. So check back or subscribe using one of the links in the sidebar.

German page about the audible impression of Ovids Metamorphoses. Very interesting. Though it is my very belief that the Romans used the tone pitch for the declamation, too (otherwise the ridiculousness of the declamation in Satyr. wouldn't be that explb.)
