About
Hiya, and welcome to Swindle, a community for discovering and sharing contemporary poetry. Poems get into Swindle in one of two ways — through our automated feed crawler (which scrapes new poems from publications such as The New Yorker, Poetry Magazine, and Rattle), and through submissions from our users.
To take full advantage of Swindle, you'll want to sign up for a free user account, which will allow you to save and promote your favorite poems, as well as submit poems you find around the web.
If you'd like to add your publication to our automatic feed crawler, send a link to [email protected]. The site must produce a valid RSS feed that includes publication dates for all items before it can be included.
Swindle was designed and coded by Johnathon Williams. Hosting is provided by Linebreak. The heavy lifting is done by CakePHP and SimplePie on a MediaTemple DV, with help from Yahoo Pipes.
