Rating: 10 It doesn't get any better than this, my friends. Between tons of good poetry (though there is a bit more than I might like. It's a bit overwhelming!) a contest, articles on how to improve your writing, links to other sites on the net, workshops, lists to publishers, and more, this could take care of whatever poetry needs you have for a very long time. The only slight problem I can find with it (and this is so slight that I don't even wish to take a point away from it!) is that the page is so huge and so fast that it's a bit difficult, at times, to figure out what I want to do next. But that's hardly a complaint! I also wish that they had, in some parts a "especially good link" part, or "especially good poetry" part so that I could go directly for the "best". But, again, these complaints carry little or no weight in this marvelous page.
Relevance: 10 How could one get more relevant than this?
Rating: 8 I can't say that the poetry really does anything for me, but it's not bad, either. The page is pretty neat too. There's a lot here other than poetry, and some really great links. I also like how there is both an image map and text links and descriptions...I've got to love that. It makes things so much easier for us slow modemed people. So, yeah, I like the page, I'd recomend that you go there. Though I'm not big on Pablo's poetry, you may love it, or find that you're madly in love with his photography, or something. And, if nothing else, the page design is great...so....not to mention that I really like the literary quotes section...
Relevance: 7 OK, so he does have a pretty neat literary section. The page's devotion, though, isn't to that, and I have to go through about five links to get to the poetry. Bad? Not especially. I didn't fail the page, or anything, but it does have a few flaws as a purely literary page. (Not that it isn't a fine typical page...it's just not completely relevant to poetry.) However, there is poetry, and a fair amount of it. There are poetry links, and there's even a literary quotes section.
Rating: 5 OK, there is nothing in the design that enthralls me. It's your typical homepage, complete with links to friends homepages, loads of web rings, and homepage awards. Nothing exciting, however nothing noxious either. Though I'd try this one without pics for loading time, it's fine either way, and I probably shouldn't complain, my own homepage really isn't much better. So, though I'm not enthralled, I think that the page is good enough. And what really matters is the poetry, anyway, right?
Relevance: 2 The poetry section was easy to find. This is about the best thing that I can find about the section. There are only three poems in this section, and they are hard to read due to the pastels on gray layout. (Not one which I would suggest.) Unfortunately the author has also not quite gotten past the "make every other line rhyme, even if it doesn't quite work" phase. Admittedly, everyone (or almost everyone, someone might be better than this...I wasn't) goes through this phase. However, needless to say, the writing really doesn't impress me. Not that I don't think that, with work, Regina could be an accomplished writer and have loads of good poetry on her web page. (At least her stories are decent, much better than her poetry in my opinion...)
If you are intersted in having your web page reviewed, please email Julia at [email protected] Please remember, though, that I may not review your page, and that, if I do review your page, I may not say nice things. I will try to take reviews first from the group of people who ask me to review their pages. After that I will browse about the web and find any page I want to review.
