The LIVE Poets Society- Alternate Metaverse Grid

The LIVE Poets Society is an aArchive of Poets & Poetry throughout history, Old & New, Deceased & Living, including an archive of OpenSim Poets

This is my little contribution to the Arts & Literature in OpenSim, To keep the works of masters alive and available, and to provide free readable poetry to anyone in OpenSim who wants to curl up by the fire with a few good poems.

The Archive currently contains multiple poetic works by 40 Poets and many more to come soon!

I will be also adding poetry from writers throughout OpenSim so please send me yours!! The best way is via Email to admin@alternatemetaverse.com, this way you can reach me from any grid, though my home and the archive are located at Alternate Metaverse.

The Live Poets Society is lovingly dedicated to my Real Life Partner Chris, Known here as Yeats Xi.
We first met over poetry and have lived together for 25 happy years!

I hope you will visit this fabulous Archive that Chris and I worked on creating together!

Sincerely, Cataplexia Numbers, A living poet
