Guide to Poetry & Literature
Webcasts is a resource for locating webcasts
of poets, fiction writers, and critics as they read and discuss
their own and each other's work. The Guide includes links
to Library
of Congress sites and general
sites that archive literature-related webcasts, as
well as links to streaming video of academic
conferences, lectures, and discussions; group poetry readings;
and literary award ceremonies. Webcasts on general topics,
such as children's
books, performance
poetry, and visual
poetry also are included, and an offline
reading section allows viewers to identify print
resources that complement the resources found through
the Guide.
The largest section of the
Guide is an alphabetical
index to webcasts of individual poets,
authors, and writers. Many of the video files are drawn
from the
archives
of the Library
sites and general
sites mentioned above; others are taken from sites
on the Web with less extensive archives. Often, the
files included
in the index are located by mining the invisible web for
content that cannot be found through a general search
engine.
This Guide is an ongoing project,
and will constantly grow and evolve as additional selections
are added to the site. Comments, corrections, and suggestions
for inclusion are welcome.
