Re: weekly roundup thread - general poetry news

Not exactly news, but linkage. It had been a few years since I last wandered through Bartleby's collection of poetry, and have been pleasantly surprised at how much PD goodness is there. My current wandering through is Poetica Erotica: A Collection of Rare and Curious Amatory Verse, a volume I had met on my parents' bookshelf in a slightly later edition -- the one linked to is the original 1921 version. Selections range from the suggestive to the smutty, including a generous helping of Burns's dirtier ditties.
