=== Unidentified Poetry Books ===
Poetry Books can be found across [[ProjectGorgon:Alharth]], usually in an unidentified form. Rudimentary knowledge of [[ProjectGorgon:Art History]] is required to appraise an unidentified poetry book. After appraisal, the discovered Poetry Book will require a specific level of [[ProjectGorgon:Poetry Appreciation]] to read. Poetry Books have a chance of dropping from any creature that drops scrolls, so [[ProjectGorgon:Undead Anatomy|Undead]] and [[ProjectGorgon:Arthropod Anatomy|Arthropods]] are usually targeted by prospective '''Poetry Appreciators'''. In particular, the Undead [[ProjectGorgon:Face of Death]] in [[ProjectGorgon:Borghild]] and the stronger [[ProjectGorgon:Visage of Demise]] found across [[ProjectGorgon:Rahu]] tend to drop many scrolls and recipes, including poetry books.

=== Poetry Podium ===
{{Quote|source=Serbule Poetry Podium|
Here you can recite poetry. You'll need a poetry book (which is destroyed in the process). When you recite a poem aloud, you only earn 1/3 of the [[ProjectGorgon:Poetry Appreciation]] XP that you'd get by reading it privately, but all other nearby players will ALSO earn that much [[ProjectGorgon:Poetry Appreciation]] XP. You will also earn [[ProjectGorgon:Oratory]] XP based on the number of people listening.

Instead of actually forcing players to read an entire book of poems, you will be prompted to enter a short poem yourself. You can write your own poetry or copy-and-paste poetry from elsewhere. (If you use others' poems, make sure to credit them!)

Nearby players will see your poem and can vote on whether they like it or not. You'll get general feedback about how your poem was received, but that feedback has no game-play effects. (Because everybody's a critic).

'''Poetry Podiums''' are public locations where poetry can be read aloud to others. It has become common for [[ProjectGorgon:Guilds]] to work together to host public weekly Poetry Jam events.

== Trivia ==
Poetry Appreciation is probably a reference to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]], given that the Vogons used "Poetry Appreciation Chairs", and the fact that all the Poetry books have descriptions talking about how awful they are.
