2. UnderAcademy College

   UnderAcademy College was established by Talan Memmott in 2011 as an arena for pedagogical and curricular experiments around the idea of alternative online education. UnderAcademy does not have a campus or a central meeting place and uses various social media platforms for organizational purposes, as well as for the running of the courses that it offers. As Memmott states in his role as Provisional Provost (press release: February 1, 2012), “We are trying to do something different here. UnderAcademy is not anti-academic, it is under — like under the influence of the academy. And, we are not a university; we are called a college because of its phonological proximity to collage.”

3. Poetry Foundation

   The Poetry Foundation, publisher of Poetry magazine, is an independent literary organization committed to a vigorous presence for poetry in our culture. It exists to discover and celebrate the best poetry and to place it before the largest possible audience.

   The Poetry Foundation works to raise poetry to a more visible and influential position in American culture. Rather than celebrating the status quo, the Foundation seeks to be a leader in shaping a receptive climate for poetry by developing new audiences, creating new avenues for delivery, and encouraging new kinds of poetry. In the long term, the Foundation aspires to alter the perception that poetry is a marginal art, and to make it directly relevant to the American public.

5. TINAC

   A loosely organised electronic writers' collective described as "almost entirely mythical" by Stuart Moulthrop, founded in 1988 when Nancy Kaplan invited Michael Joyce, Stuart Moulthop and John McDaid to spend a few days at her house. 

   The acronym stands for various combinations of words, including "Textuality, Intertextuality, Narrative, and Consciousness," "This is not a conference," and "This is not a Cabal." There was a manifesto which was privately circulated rather than published, and never entirely completed. Little remains online other than brief quotations from this lost manifesto, such as "Three links per node or it's not a hypertext" (quoted on several occasions by Mark Bernstein).
