The Poem Tree

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.

This being an anthology and not a magazine, I include only poetry which has been previously published.  If you have published a book of poetry, I would be interested to see it, especially if it is metered poetry.  If you do not have a book or chapbook, then you should have at least 20 poems published in magazines.  Click here to send me an e-mail to discuss the matter.
