Penny's Poetry Blog

The Penny Blog is the weblog affiliated with Penny's Poetry Pages wiki. It is maintained at Google Blogspot, and is powered by Blogger.

History
The blog was begun in December 2009 by George J. Dance, under the name "The Betty Blog," as an archive for his long poem, "Betty" (now "Penny, or Penny's Hat").

Over the next two years, four other long poems were archived there: "Betty's OS" (now "Penny's OS") by Dance in June 2010, and 3 by Wallace Stevens:
 * Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction
 * Esthetique du Mal
 * The Man with the Blue Guitar

Almost 800 short poems have also been archived on the blog. During its first two years, poetry was posted on a daily basis. Since the beginning of Penny's Poetry Pages in 2011, posts to the Penny Blog have been made only on weekends.

New poems posted to the blog are promoted through regular Usenet announcements, and through a facebook page, "Penny's Poetry Page".
