Salutations and suchlike,
Seeing as this is about my second posting to Netnews in
about four years, feel free to put up with me, flame me, or
whatever suits your fancy.
I'm putting together a poetry archive - my own work, seeing
as my university (University of Maine at Farmington) is willing
to give me credits for the effort - in the form of a World Wide
Web gallery.
Trick is, I have to teach myself as I go. I've no formal
training in HTML structure, poetry, and so forth. This being the
case, I'm throwing the gallery open rather early in hopes of
people dropping in.
You'll get to read some poems that I think are passable, as
well as some that I truly loathe, all without major modifications
as yet. You'll also be able to fill out this lovely little form
that I've just learned how to make so that you can tell me what
you think of the site, what you think of any specific poem,
advice on anything really. All I ask is that no matter what you
opinion, I'd like to know why you feel the way you do about
whatever it is.
Providing I'm not overwhelmed with response (unlikely, no?)
in this matter, I'll take time to respond to each and every one
of you that writes me.
Formal stuff and such like.
The site is at:
<URL:http://violet.umfacad.maine.edu/~rcoryell/>
This is the welcome page where the form is.
From the welcome page, you can drop directly into the
Nhillium Project, where all the poetry is. I've divided
everything into books - Yup, I handwrite most of this stuff
eventually, and everything is coming out of hardbound books - so
each book got its own page. Book three is the one I've finished
and am interested in having reviewed specifically. Book two is so
incomplete as to be hardly worth the effort. Book one has some
stuff in it - even some stuff I like, but is older. I put it up
more as a curiosity than as anything else.
Odds are you'll find mismatched files - I really do not have
a good handle on this process yet - and the images page won't be
up until my server can handle the volume. Regardless, welcome to
the site, flame it, comment on it, whatever, and have my most
heartfelt thanks!
Oh yes, if I have time, I'll be testing out some Java
script, as well as Netscape 2.0 optimization.
Sincerely -
Roland W. Coryell
Oh yes, if you want to respond, it's unlikely I'll be
watching netnews on a regular basis. My Email address is
