Poets In Need is a non-profit
organization providing emergency assistance to poets who have an established presence in the literary community as innovators in the field and a substantive body of published work. Assistance is given only in cases of current financial need that is in excess of and unrelated to the recipient’s normal economic situation and that is the result of recent emergency (due, for example, to fire, flood, eviction, or a medical crisis).
Poets In Need was founded in 2000 by Board Members Michael Rothenberg, Norman Fischer, and Leslie
Scalapino. Lyn Hyjenian, Hal Bohner, and Suzi Winson also serve on the
Board.

The website for innovative British poetry. Welcome to one of the few genuinely creative and uncommercial areas in British culture:
innovative poetry. Largely ignored by mainstream media and literary culture, with little mention at the Poetry Society. A forty-year history showing a number of influences and
strands. Not dominated by money and the market, or the Arts bureaucracy, nor regarding itself as a branch of light entertainment. Real art, pursued for its own sake, and following its own rules.

Occasional comment on the appalling state of mainstream poetry.
Created in 1999 by Larry Sawyer and Lina ramona Vitkauskas, milkmag.org. stemmed directly from the creation of milk magazine in its print incarnation by Larry Sawyer. As a past editor of Nexus magazine, Larry was fortunate to work with/publish distinguished poets such as Jack Micheline, Ira Cohen, Gerard Malanga, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Gustaf Sobin, Frank Lima, Paul Violi, Sheila E. Murphy, Linda Lerner, Paul Bowles, and Charles Henri Ford. With milkmag.org he hopes to make contact with the spirit of poetry via the electronic pulse of this strange contraption called the Internet infusing it with a life it lacks.

Cambridge Literary Review
The Cambridge Literary Review is a magazine of poetry, short fiction, and criticism. Cambridge has made a vital contribution to literature, but it is our view that a burgeoning literary scene has not been adequately represented in journals with a wide readership. Our aim is to draw together the disparate elements of Cambridge writing. The first issue is intended to open the debate, dealing with subjects such as Cambridge's impact on writers, and the possibility of a 'Cambridge School'. Subsequent issues, open to all, will provide an ongoing test for the local scene. Bringing Cambridge into contact with the wider literary world is our primary task.
Weirdyear Daily Flash Fiction
Weirdyear publishes flash fiction, poetry, and hybrid experimental fiction on a daily basis. It provides a
platform for both new and established authors to reach readers based solely on the merit of each individual
piece of writing and not on deadlines, reputation, age or any other factor. The market for offbeat and “weird”
fiction has always been extremely limited, so authors of progressive and experimental fiction have largely
gone unheard. Weirdyear endeavors to give those unheard authors the voice they deserve.
