Poetry International Web

Hey there all,

I'd like to shine a bit of a spotlight on Poetry International Web:

http://international.poetryinternationalweb.org/piw_cms/cms/cms_module/index.php?obj_name=international

The website contains video clips, poems, articles on poetry and poetry related news. It also includes poems (with translations into English) from some of the greatest poets around the globe. I'm chuffed that there's a section with Australian poems, but I am disappointed that there isn't a section on the site for poems by South East Asian nations, First nations people, Central Americans Soth Americans and more African nations.

Still, it's worth a peek for lovers the written/spoken word. Enjoy!

Vietnamese Poetry website by Thomas D. Le

Modern Vietnamese poetry with translations into English! I am so excited! (I'm Vietnamese Australian, you see). http://www.geocities.com/tdl.geo/vietpoet.html

I need to brush up on my Vietnamese more often. Reading this should help me do that (while enjoying poetry. It's practically a win win situation).

If anyone could give me a heads up on translations of classical Vietnamese poetry, I'd be grateful too. ^_^
