How do you search by poets’ names? Not poets like Yeats, Frost, & Dickinson, but amateur poets like me. We used to be able to do that.

Hi Linda,
I’m sorry that you are having trouble claiming your profile. Please contact our support team at help@poetry.com and they should be able to assist you.

Thank you,
Annie

Hi, could you make a link with facebook, twitter etc so we poets can share our work with our friends?

Thank you,

Anna

The search function now finds nothing. No matter what I enter, 0 results are returned.

When will the search function be operational again?

Hi, like the comment above, I wish to put my poems from poetry.com on your site but no contact can be made with help@poetry.com. Please help!

Hi Robert,
We had a problem with the search function earlier today but it has now been fixed. I’m sorry for the inconvenience.
Thank you,
Annie

Hi Anna,
That is an excellent suggestion. Currently we only have the ability to share poems by email, but we do have plans to add the ability to share on Facebook, Twitter, and other social networks. You should see this functionality later this year.

Thank you,
Annie

I agree I cant find my poems either put my name in and get hits of either 0 or 27898 the search is not fun.
To vague. I cant find any of my poems and I did request info from Help@poetry.com nothing I know what email address I used and yet it says it is not valid I have all my mailings from the old poetry.com and was never notified that my poems were moving how can that be? Just want access to my poems

As a contributor of the old site, I am also interesting about the access to the new website, seems to be a minded-block. But I still want to share my optimism and patience to so many others who might sleep and wake with some beautiful thoughts up to a brand new poetry column, through which one thousand words will be expressed just for one sentence: LOVE, love, LOVE!!!

Hi Everyone,
All of your poems should still be available on Lulu Poetry. We have recently changed search so that readers can find poems based on name, title, topics, keywords, and tags. With over 14 million poems on Lulu Poetry, our search gives you wide range of results. This is just the first step in our new search, and we will be refining it over the coming weeks. Please check back soon to see our improvements in search.

The best way to locate your poems is to visit your profile page. After you log in, click the blue “Account” link at the top right of the page. This will take you to your profile and a list of your poems. If you were a member of http://www.poetry.com before our site update in August 2009, you will probably need to Claim Your Profile in order to log in. If you have trouble with registration or claiming your profile, please contact our support team at help@poetry.com.

If checking your profile does not return all of your poetry, an easy work around is to copy and paste full_name: “your name” into the search field (be sure to replace your name with the full name you published poetry under and keep the quotation marks), which will pull up all of the poetry listed under the pen name of your poetry. This step will become unnecessary as Lulu Poetry continues to index content and refine the search.

Thank you,
Annie
