Twenty-Five Years of Poetry Daily!
Thursday, March 24, 2022
12:10 pm to 1:25 pm
In 1997, when most readers accessed the Internet through dial-up—if at all—Don Selby and Diane Boller launched an elegant, user-friendly website to help people discover poets and poetry they like—and to help publishers spread news of their books, magazines, and journals to more readers. Join Poetry Daily readers and members of its new staff and prominent editorial board as they read outstanding poems, share Poetry Daily stories and visions, and celebrate the retirement of Don and Diane.
