Ann Arbor Poetry Slam The honest truth out loud. www.a2slam.com 
Austin Poetry Slam Funny how Austin and Ann Arbor both start with "A", eh? www.austinslam.com  
Beat Museum All things beat. Daddio. www.beatmuseum.org 
e.e. cummings A great resource on my pick for one of America's greatest 20th century poets. Here.
Encyclopedia Mythica Myth, Folklore, and Legend. www.pantheon.org 
Jack Kerouac Another one of the greatest. If you haven't read On the Road, what are you waiting for? An amazing anthology of audio files of Jack reading his work.

Some text excerpts.

Kahlil Ghibran's The Prophet Lebanese romantic poet. This is probably his most famous work, available in its entirety at this site. www.lebanon2000.com/Gibran.htm 
Li Po A few pieces by my favorite Chinese poet.  www.poetrystore.com/lipo.html 
Longshot One of the greatest literary journals of all time. Sadly no longer in print. www.longshot.org 
MLA Bibliography Style Guide Title says it all. Here.
Moby Dick Or, The Whale. Yep. The whole thing's right here, Cap'n. Here.
Pablo Neruda Perhaps my favorite poet of all time. Copyright laws prevent any decent English translations of his work from being posted to the Internet, but this is an interesting bio. I highly recommend you blow the $12 or so and buy Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair, my favorite work by him and I think the most inspiring collection of love poems ever written. He wrote it, by the way, when he was 20 years old. Here.
Poetry Critical Online poetry workshop. I'm glad they beat me to this, since given my web design skills, it probably would have taken me forever. www.poetry.tetto.org
Project Gutenberg Free books online. www.promo.net/pg 
Quotation Ring Quotes. Lots of quotes (of the literary, as opposed to financial, variety). Cumbersome, but cool. www.quotationring.net 
Research and Documentation Online Lots of style info. Here.
The complete works of Shakespeare How many times have you wished you had online access to all of the bard's works? Here.
The Vonnegut Web All things Vonnegut. www.duke.edu/~crh4/vonnegut 
The Wordsmith Press Ann Arbor's best small press. www.thewordsmithpress.com 
Thom the World Poet Austin's hardest working--and most lovable--poet. Here.
Tin House Seldom prints anything that isn't great. www.tinhouse.com 
Word Origins Online etymology tool. www.wordorigins.org/index.htm
