Poetry Foundation Releases iPhone App

his last weekend I traveled from Chicago to Ann Arbor, Michigan to visit friends and family, and I spent a good deal of the trip messing around with the Poetry Foundation’s recently released iPhone app.  I really enjoyed it both because it contains a great selection of famous poetry, and because it has a really unique way of searching through the poems.  You can view this more clearly at their website, but they allow you to scroll through the poems using two different categories at the same time, such as Passion and Youth, or Enthusiasm and Nature.  It’s a great way to discover new poems and to find poems that suit your current mood.  And one of the best things about it is that it’s free.  You can download it at the link above or at Apple’s app store.
