This is a wonderful site from the Academy of American Poets. It is great for students, teachers, or anyone who just loves poetry. Students can search for poems, poets, poem form and technique, and even discuss their favorite topics or get advice from other poets in the Discussion Forum. Educators will find tips for teaching poetry, a teacher resource center, ideas for lesson plans and curriculum as well as to talk with other teachers in the Teacher Discussion forum.

My favorite site so far. It has poetry articles, poetry news, poetry blogs, resources for tools on learning and teaching poetry and so much more.
