After I started building Poetry Every Day, I ran across that very site. I continued building because I think they attract a different type of reader than I am envisioning would be interested in Poetry Every Day. The focus of Poetry Every Day is providing poetry that has stood the test of time. The focus of the American Academy of Poets is to showcase its (living) members' work, interspersed with some classic poetry. That's not at all a bad thing, but I think there are people who are interested in classic poetry that are not interested in contemporary poetry. Those are the people I created Poetry Every Day for.
