RelativeLinks hopes to fill a gap by providing a review medium for poetry published exclusively online. We will focus on the electronic chapbook as it seems to be the preferred vehicle due to its length, comfortable readability, and the minimal printing involved when offered in PDF format. In addition, unlike many e-books, the format does not require additional hardware or software beyond what is available to the average reader via his or her computer. We also welcome reviews of single-author collections that are archived electronically and no longer available in print.

At this writing, we are aware of the online publishers of electronic poetry chapbooks listed and hotlinked on our "Links" page, though we hope to learn of others from our readers and reviewers.

RelativeLinks will be cumulative, with new reviews added throughout the year and indentified as such. These will comprise Volume I and will be archived once a new publishing year (Volume II) begins. When the inevitable occurs, and we are out of server space, we will find an alternate host for the archives.

We see RelativeLinks as a service to poets, publishers, reviewers, and especially readers. Our fondest hope is that RelativeLinks will help expand readership of poetry online. - the Editors
