Global access to poetry

Peter Robinson was recently asked to offer a poem and some annotations to the Poetry Genius website. He chose his recent ‘From Amsterdam’, to be included in a new collection called Buried Music due in early 2015. There are explanatory comments, illustrative images, explanations of allusions, a YouTube clip, and an audio file reading of the poem. Among other things, this illustrates some of the ways in which literature can be made more globally available using online technology.
