Hi Wayne,
In the footer of the website on the right side you'll see a menu  
called Outreach and underneath, a link to something called "creative  
writing".
This is the place. It's empty now, but we can put in a bibliography of  
literary work based on EP's life, or a video clip, or anything useful  
we might find.

>> Dear friends,
>>
>> Since I took over the running of this society of ours last year, I
>> have been talking to you about the desirability of a website and a
>> newsletter for our society.
>>
>> At some point I realized that the best thing would be to launch them
>> together. They are ready now and the time has come to show you what I
>> have been working on for the past few months.
>>
>> I must confess that I?ve been rather ambitious for our society ? other
>> literary organisations have websites, but none, so far as I know, is
>> interactive, like ours.
>>
>> All the other societies have newsletters, but none so far as I know,
>> is multimedia. In fact, the quality of contributions I received for
>> the first issue have prompted me to change its status to ?little
>> magazine?. If you care to register on the site to read the little mag,
>> I think you will agree with me. It is called Make It New.
>>
>> The magazine, as well as my proposals for society projects are closed
>> to the wider public and open just to members. You will see that the
>> table of contents of the little mag is open access. But in order to
>> actually read it, you?ll have to register.
>>
>> At this point this website is our society home. It is a house with a
>> lot of empty rooms waiting for your contributions and improvements. I
>> have provided just the minimum content, or a few placeholders. Ideally
>> it should become a place where we are comfortable to return ? to adorn
>> and enrich it as every loving homeowner does.
>>
>> The society is now initiating another way of gaining and cultivating
>> membership. In the past, members were the subscribers to Paideuma, a
>> model common to other literary societies as well.
>>
>> While we would certainly urge Pound scholars to maintain their
>> subscriptions to the journal, I think that another model, with a
>> low-cost subscription would be an incentive for more people to become
>> members. The society financial goals are as ever, to have a money
>> foundation for the awards. Then, if there is anything left, the
>> society could initiate and carry out a number of projects, which are
>> described on the website. It could also ideally offer some help to
>> deserving postgraduate students (a modest subvention of conference
>> travel costs comes to mind in that respect).
>>
>> Finally
>> Like anything that is new, the website might not always perform
>> smoothly or be the same for everyone in every circumstance. We are now
>> testing, experimenting. You have to make allowances for my new role as
>> web designer/ administrator. If you have problems or suggestions,
>> don?t shoot, just drop me an email or simply offer your help, it will
>> be welcome.
>>
>> As to the magazine ? when you see the pilot issue, you will have a
>> better idea of what it can do for us. Justin Kishbaugh will run it as
>> a managing editor and Barry Ahearn and I will be in the wings to look
>> kindly over his shoulder. We plan to do more reviewing, especially the
>> publications of the last two years. If you?d rather start smaller and
>> provide a chapter or article summary, this is welcome too. Just get in
>> touch.
>>
>> This is a cordial invitation to you all to become members of a changed
>> Ezra Pound Society ? with new presence and visibility, improved means
>> of communication, and a unique chance for us to work together.
