an instrument." The website continues to grow and now offers
a section on teaching poetry as well as the collection of wonderful
and wonderfully read poems that already reside on the site. —EMS

The
Literary Machine

The Literary Machine is a dynamic archive and an idea management tool
aimed at creative thinking — built especially with the writer
in mind. It is packed with indexing and display techniques so general
and potent that you will use it as an intelligence center. In a class
by itself, it is virtually an extension of your brain.
So, write in it. Collect and sort information and ideas in it. Make
it your treasure chest of random notes and ideas for analysis and
future reference. For, it will serve you well as the substance, catalyst,
and processor for relating or reusing them in creative combinations.
