   As a poet you may participate in the Poet's Coop in many ways:

• Post a poem or a "work in progress" in our online "E-Group Forum" (some call them electronic bulletin boards). Our hope is that it can serve as a "virtual writers' group" for you to get input and that all important "critical distance" for a work in progress. Also, you my find that reviewing and critiquing another's work is a source of inspiration and fulfillment. (Click if you want step by step instuctions on how to post your poem or comment on our forum ).
  
  AND/ OR
  
• Try our live chat room to visit with other poets and readers. (Also watch for the "Virtual Open Readings" soon to be scheduled there.)
  
  AND/ OR
  
• Please use our Free-for-all Links Page to add your own link to promote your favorite poetry sites or links for your original poetry you already have on the web.
