Lively Links establishes a new dimension to our regular Links page - it will contain timely links to organisations hiring poets ("Poetry Work"), and provide a 'satellite dish' directing visitors to new (or featured) websites of note in the poetry world. Please note: we do vet each site before recommending a visit, and all postings are subject to the editorial discretion of the Poetry Society. As internet offerings grow ever larger, we prefer to direct users to websites which specialise in collecting extensive links (particularly of poetry magazines and author sites).
