Links to British Innovative Poetry Sites - checked, updated and even subbed

I've just updated the Links to British Innovative Poetry Sites page on modernpoetry.org.uk. (What else to do this rainy Easter?) Please do communicate all corrections and additions - it is only a partial view. More Favourite Thing lists would always be welcome, too. In the meantime, I'll move to work on the rest of the site, checking & updating the various lists, and I think trying to downplay the historical approach for something focusing more finely on the here & now. And I do desperately need and would welcome all suggestions for additions & improvements to the whole site.

My feelings are to raise the site to a kind of glowing currency over the summer - then possibly leave it as a monument to this point. Not certain; I'll decide when it's all finely polished and resplendent (briefly).
