About this user

When the Museum of American Poetics (MAP) came online in 1998 (see poetspath.com), most everyone was using VHS tape to document poets and their work and then transferring that to digital formats for uploading. Back then, most people had dial-up, if they had computers at all. With the assistance of populist poet M.L. Liebler of Detroit, Michigan, I created a Best Minds video collection at MAP in order to get the work that had meant so much to me out there. It was always the intention of MAP to get the poetry out there first, the poets, and the talk about writing, but somehow the structure of design made it so that you had to drill on down to find The Poems. In 2009, we transferred our collection from MAP to the MAP Video Channel and offer it up alongside our favorite youtube poetry videos.
