Why is the site called "Poetry X"?

While we were deciding on a domain name and brand for the new site we wanted the word "poetry" to be included in the site title. We made a list that looked a bit like:

poetry __________
poetry analysis
poetry forums
poetry archives
poetry texts
poetry essays

poetry X

We wanted the site name to be as easy to spell and remember, as brief as possible, not limit the site to a certain aspect of poetry study, and to be hip and mysterious. Poetry X fit the bill.

Why is [a poem, poet, etc.] featured on Plagiarist.com but not on Poetry X?

There are generally three reasons why a poem may appear on one site but not the other, from most likely to least likely:

1. We haven't had a chance to re-edit the poems for the new site yet.
2. The poet, agency, or estate has either refused or has not yet granted us permission to re-print the works.
3. Poetry X is a bit more selective about the poems that we choose to include.

How often is Poetry X updated?

Poetry X is updated at least once a week, with major content available every Monday morning.

Why wasn't my question included in your FAQ page?

It probably wasn't asked frequently enough (and by "frequently", we mean by a multitude of different people - not the same question from you submitted one thousand times).
