alt.arts.poetry.comments (aapc) is a Usenet poetry newsgroup.
History[]
aapc was created on July 6, 1997, by poet Michael Giardina, as an alternative to the long-established rec.arts.poems, for those who specifically sought helpful comments on their writing.[1]
The group's heyday was approximately between 1999 and 2002, when many writers of poetry, both published writers and beginners, participated. Since that time the group has lost much of its activity (with internet poets opting for mailing lists, moderated Web forums, and Web 2.0 social media such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, have deprived the group of much of its activity, but both poems and comments continue to be posted.[1]
