           <title>Poetry X Now Brought to you by Word Front LLC (and the number 9)</title>

           <title>New Orleans</title>

           <link>http://s1.amazon.com/paypage/PELYGQVJ8Q7IB/joughcom</link>

           <description>Poetry X is deeply saddened by the losses of those in the American Gulf Coast area due to hurricane Katrina.  It's hard to believe that New Orleans, at least as we knew it, is gone.

At first we weren't going to post anything about it and just keep our news focused on poetry and the site, but after seeing how poorly evacuation and rescue has been handled maybe each of us can make a difference.  Every little bit helps.

To that end, we are encouraging our visitors to donate even a small sum to the American Red Cross Katrina Relief efforts, and we at Poetry X will be donating our advertising revenue this month to help support those who have been displaced by the storm.

NOTE: Some readers have questioned our Amazon Associate's ID in the link here - please be assured that we are in no way profiting from your donations, and only included our unique ID as a way of tracking how much Poetry X visitors have donated so we could possibly match donations given by our readership (which may not be possible, considering how generous our readers can be).</description>

           <title>Langston Hughes Poems; Some Notes on Copyrights</title>

           <link>http://poetry.poetryx.com/poets/631/</link>

           <description>To the delight of the hundreds who have emailed us requesting this poet, we have added a few poems by Harlem poet Langston Hughes to the archives.

Now, before you all start complaining that your favourite Hughes poem is not included, be aware that most of Langston Hughes's poems are still under copyright in the U.S. (where Poetry X is based) and throughout the world, and the rights holder has thus far either ignored or not received our reprint requests.

           <description>Add tags to poems for ad-hoc categorization!  Tags, sometimes called and#8220;folksonomies,and#8221; are words that describe or categorize a poem, like and#8220;20th century modernismand#8221; or and#8220;Italian sonnetand#8221;. Tags can help you find poems that have something in common, based on how other people classify them.</description>
