Need to help my cousin with his poetry

[Rufus]

Hello everybody, in today’s world each one of us have some or the other ways to express our talents. There are a wide range of people with different talents and here I am to help my cousin feel better. He has interest in writing poetry but the problem is a place where he can find enough exposure. I don’t believe that he will get a straight forward or a quick response but may be a way into the poetry community with inputs from others.

Any help will be appreciated.

I guess I would find out if there's some kind of poets society online. Perhaps in some kind of forum kind of way like we have here at intpforum.com.
So if you Google for it you get to sites like this one: http://www.writers-network.com/

Perhaps that could be useful to your cousin?

There is much online content to educate you about this. I think that your friend needs to be a bit more exposed to the online world so that he can select the best sources for his poems. But, in my opinion I would advice your friend to consider visual poetry which is a network for poets to make their work handled with a touch of creativity. There are members there who add a magical touch, which is motion graphics, video, photography, paintings and other features that gives your poems a new look and a way to present itself with. I hope that you would love to see your poetry presented in the form of visualized poetry

Cool poetry forum. I used to go there when I was in my poetry phase 5 or 6 years ago. Really nice people. There's a broad range of ages, and people will usually give you some feedback.

It's especially good if you're younger, though. Some of the stuff there is good and a lot of it probably isn't (just being honest), but if you're just looking for some support and feedback, it's a nice place.
