I love contemporary free-verse poetry and have written and self-pubbed a collection in both paperback and ebook formats. I was just wondering if anyone else here likes free-verse? I haven't read any vivid poetry of that sort in a while, and I was looking for some suggestions on where I could read some. Thanks!

Uhm... do you actually know what free-verse is? It's the most prominent form of poetry published today. The term intends poetry that is free of formal structure and/or metric regularity and that embraces natural voice cadence rather than regulated measure...

Anywhere where poetry is published and anywhere that it is shared or written (aside from a handful of dedicated sites and zines), the primary poetic persuasion will be free-verse. Check our chap book section or critique section and you'll find scores of free-verse and other other more formal verse forms - alternatively google 'poetry' and I'm sure that every entry will have some for you.

So what do you think it is?

ETA - I wouldn't use this forum to plug your writing, there is a dedicated space for that elsewhere.
