Hi, I'm Josh. Welcome to the Edwin Arlington Robinson - American Poet site.
I started this site in the spring of 2000 while working on a school project. Since then, it has become a labor of love that I work on when I can, usually updating every week or so. If you'd like to help out, or to create a similar site for another poet, email me and we can talk about it.
My goal is simply this: to get more people reading Robinson. And judging from the feedback that I've been getting, its succeeding. I recently received a letter from someone who had found a poem from their childhood that they thought they'd never see again. That was the best news I could possibly have heard!
If you're working on research papers, poem analyses, book reports, or other materials about Robinson and you'd like me to add them to the site, just drop me a line and I'll add them. I'm currently working on some materials that I've already received, and I'm going to be adding those to the site shortly. I'll gladly post any work that you have that concerns Robinson, and give full credit to you, of course.
This Edwin Arlington Robinson - American Poet site is designed, written, and maintained by me, Joshua Porter. I've worked hard to create an easy to use site that has the most information about Robinson anywhere on the web. Viewing is, as always, free. I don't intend to ever charge for the site.
That said, there are several recurring costs that I have to pay for. The major one, of course, is hosting costs. The second one is the research time that I put into updating and adding new content.
If you find this site useful, please consider donating a dollar or two in support. Think of it as buying a small book at the local bookstore or picking up a inexpensive pamphlet at a museum.
All donations received will be put directly toward hosting fees and research costs.
Thanks for your time,
Josh
