Where to publish poems

Question

I'm looking for a site where I can publish my poems.

I'm not keen on rewards; I just need a place to publish it.

I've found poetry.com that seems to be what I'm looking for but they require a Facebook account to log in and I don't have one (and don't plan to create one).

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Answer 1

Write Out Loud is UK based, but it has a nice (though little) poetry community. LiveJournal is still limping along, and is still the writing community of choice for a large number of people.

Answer 2

Try duotrope.com for lists of poetry magazines and websites, paying and nonpaying. Though if you don't care about payment, setting up a free blog of your own would work just fine.

Answer 3

If you're not looking for any rewards as such, I'd suggest signing up for a tumblr or wordpress blog and publish your poems there, and give people the link to your poetry.

Answer 4

While I already know you chose a best answer, I thought I'd still share a site for future visitors to this question. There is a good site where you can post up your original works (whether it be a very long story, very short story, or poetry).

FictionPress is a really great site. There is also a review system in place so you can get critique from peers.

Answer 5

You could try Jottify

http://jottify.com/

It's pretty easy to sign up there and if you take the time to comment on other people's work you usually get quite a few comments on yours too :)

Answer 6

if you get a facebook account, you can publish them there, with a built-in audience. i suppose, however, you couldnt be anonymous, and youd have to collect friends. Alternately, you could do it here.
