I came across this site over at Electric Alphabet today and it is well worth exploring. The site is called Poetry Speaks and as Kate says in her title, it may just be better than an iTunes for poetry. There is alot of poetry to explore already, including classic works from Rimbaud & Baudelaire, more contemporary works by Aimee Nezhukumatathil, Derrick Brown and the founder of Slam, Marc Kelly Smith, who performed at QLD Poetry Festival in 2006.  And just as importantly, you can also get involved in the Poetry Speaks community by registering a free account and uploading your work. You can also sell your work via the Poetry Speaks site. Lots of potential here… I have already been over and had a play, uploading The Stillest Hour and Brisbane Love Poems. That said, I am off to spend some more time in the Poetry Speaks playground…
