ankh_hplEver wondered where your favorite dead poet is now? Well, there' s a helpful Web site just for you! Seriously. Poets' Graves has been helping people locate dead poets since August 2003.
It apparently started with British poets, but now offers quite an assortment to be searched by surname or location. The site also includes maps and an amazing amount of other information on poetry and poets (lists of Poets Laureate both US & UK, for starters).
There are also a limited number of listings for other graves: writers, musicians, & artists.
