www.poets.org Acadamy of American poets. Handy for a research paper. Maybe you'll be on here one day.
www.poetrymagazine.org This is the site for Poetry Magazine. It's the grandaddy of poetry periodicals, just celebrating its 90th birthday.
www.poetry.com This site stinks. It's a great example of a scam: they publish everything that's sent to them, don't pay, and the only way to get the (expensive) book is to buy it.
http://www.poetscanvas.org The Poet's Canvas is a literary quarterly that's published online. It seems pretty cool. Paruse through some of the current issue and submit something. No fee, and upon publication, you get paid!
http://www.pw.org This is the website for Poets and Writers magazine. Lots of good stuff about the state of writing today. Check out the listing of literary magazines and submit some stuff!!
