Another Poetry Resource

Browsing the internet this morning looking for a copy of some brilliant poems I heard at an exam a few days ago, I came across this site:

oldpoetry.com

There are 5585 poets represented and most of tham are not THAT old. You can browse by poet and category and the site also has essays and a forum. 

Useful resource - have a look.

Irish Theatre Institute

I've been neglecting this blog. Sorry.

Anyway, just a quickie today. If you have any spare time, have a little browse of the Irish Theatre Institute's website. It's got loads of links to intesesting (and hopefully, useful) theatre-related resources. Its General Manager is Claire O'Neill, qualified speecha nd drama teacher and Secretary of IDAC. I'm sure she wouldn't mind you giving her a buzz if there's something you need to know.
