Word Salad is More than a Quarterly Poetry Magazine

Word Salad started back in 1995 as a quarterly poetry magazine publishing original poetry from around the world. The World Wide Web made this possible and still does. However, now we have much more that we offer here.

We do still publish a quarterly magazine of poetry, Word Salad Poetry Magazine.

We do also have a haiku publication called Haiku Ramblings here.

We also publish several collections of poetry which can be found from the Word Salad Publications menu at the top.

In addition we are adding various features to create a community website for interacting with and learning from other poets and persons with similar interests. Please see our facebook connections from the above menu.

Some of this is new. We have been connecting Word Salad with facebook in a variety of ways. Facebook has been a key to many of our published poets finding us on the web. We have both a facebook group and a facebook page. The Word Salad Poetry Magazine group is here and we also have a facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/WordSaladPoetry.

On this website, we have installed features that help to create an online community and not just a place to publish poetry. Online poetry magazine, or zines, are great and important as ways in which readers on the web can share poetry. However, we are endeavoring to do more.

We have a number of features that let users interact with share content on this website. We are using various tools and applications that make up the Social Web.

Thank you for joining our community. Please take time to visit the different pages on the website. We appreciate your comments and input in helping this online community to grow.
