Poets Collective Multisite Network is a wide stage, with winding corridors and cozy corners behind the main curtain. Page One sets you on an ever growing journey through outstanding contemporary poetry, and the links below will lead you to some of the side trails. Each subsite has its own search bar unless otherwise noted and the Poets Collective navigation bar will bring you back to the main entrance.
Best of Bytes
One of the newer features in the Poets Collective watering hole is actually drawn from the oldest in the Mary (Sullivan) Boren archive as it revisits the fun of hanging out with Bubba ‘n’ Willie ‘n’ the Boys (and Girls!) at her original website, TenderBytes.Net, back in the mid-1990s.

David L. Hatton brings a fresh perspective of biblical proportions in this intricately woven heroic crown of sonnets.
