CAPA:  the Contemporary American Poetry Archive   
-----------------------------------------------

An Internet Archive for Out-of Print Books.

CAPA is an electronic archive designed to make out-of-print volumes 
of poetry available to readers, scholars, and researchers.  The books will 
be stored as individual text-only files accessible via Gopher on the Internet.

Poets or their executors who hold copyright to books may place them in
the archive free of charge; once a volume is archived, it may be read on-
screen, searched electronically, or downloaded freely.  However, the author 
retains copyright and must be compensated if multiple copies are made (e.g., 
for use in the classroom).  When the author receives an offer to reprint the 
book, we will withdraw it from the archive and post a publication notice in
its place.

Books from commercial, university, and small presses are eligible for
archiving; self-published and vanity press books will not be considered.
