What is "poesybeat"

Poesybeat is an online collaborative art form whereby participants combine music and poetry together into a new musical style. The authors of the music and the poetry often have never met one another. The premiere site for this style was poesybeat.org, a not-for-profit site that promoted the poesybeat art form.

Poesybeat has generated some interest among scholars at American and European universities and among bloggers, musicians, and poets.
