LitKicks, Poetry
LitKicks has been inviting poets to submit their work for public review and response since 2001. 2008 was a lively year for "Action Poetry" -- a few writers have become new regulars, and many excellent newcomers have dropped in as well. We hope regulars and newcomers will keep up the good work in 2009. Here is a random display of some of the best poems from 2008.

Steve, I haven't forgotten the early archives -- I had to move to a different server several months ago and still haven't had the time to bring the archives over. I am hoping to do it during this christmas break, along with fixing a problem some people have with their profiles.
