Why do you use that font?
Because I like it. It's called Benguiat Frisky.
Why is the background black and the text white?
I wanted it that way. See, to me, the words are the light. They should be brighter than their surrounding. Hence, white letters on a black background. And, no, I won't change it.
Why aren't there any cool graphics in the Poetry section?
Read the above answer. I wanted the emphasis on the words, not some flashy image.
Will there be cool graphics?
Yes, when I put the Night Photography on-line, it will be graphic intensive.
Do you have any original poetry?
Yes, I do. I'm not happy with it, but I will probably add it to the site in the near future.
Aren't you violating copyrights?
I don't believe so. Most of these poems have been around for more than 50 years and should be in public domain. Besides, I am not making a dime off this site, and proper credit is given to the author, so the question should be moot. If a poem that appears here belongs to you, and you can prove it, let me know and I will kindly remove it.
You don't have my favorite poem here.
Then send it to me and I will put it here (unless I think it is a truly horrible poem).
Why do some of the dates say this site was created in 1997 when you opened it in July 2000.
Check the history for that answer.
Why don't you comment on these poems?
Because my degrees are in science, not the arts, so I don't feel qualified in deconstructing a poem. It is here because it moves me. If you would like to discuss any of these poems, feel free to drop me an e-mail, and I would be more than happy to comment on the poem.
