Poets In Need

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.

Modern Poetry


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.

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.
