So what is Fishouse? Take a look at the following from the Fishouse "About" page.

Founded in 2004 by Matt O'Donnell and Camille T. Dungy, From the Fishouse is an IRS-registered non-profit that promotes the oral tradition of poetry. Our free online audio archive showcases emerging poets (defined for this purpose as poets with fewer than two published books of poetry at the time of submission) reading their own poems, as well as answering questions about poetry and the writing process. Our mission is to use online technology and other media to provide the public with greater access to the voices of emerging poets, and to provide an educational resource to students and teachers of contemporary poetry. While Fishouse focuses on poets at the beginning of their careers, we always jump when the opportunity arises to record more established poets, so the site also features many well-known poets. Additionally, many poets on the site have joined the ranks of the "emerged" since their first posting on Fishouse.
