The Golden Lantern
was launched in 1998 by David McInerney. The site didn't have
its own domain, and the only poems on it were Dave's haiku. Soon,
however, poets began submitting their work for publication, and
there has been a steady stream of submissions every since. By
2005 there were 50 contributing authors.
In 1999, The Golden Lantern
moved to its own domain, TheGoldenLantern.com, and
went through a complete redesign. In October 2001 the site was
once again transformed to accommodate growing participation and
expanded features. In January 2005, a Commerce page was added
to entice advertisers and offer a new service, print publishing.
We're proud to be a part of four webrings. They've
ensured a steady stream of traffic by poetry buffs and Eastern-minded
people alike. We want to thank all our visitors for their patronage—we
hope the poetry on this site has inspired them in some way.
We're mostly proud of our contributing authors.
After launching this site and receiving submissions from all over
the world, it became apparent that there is a lot of good writing
going on out there. The Golden Lantern
is lucky to have had the opportunity to showcase these
great poems.
All our best to the poets, writers, readers, and
meditators out there who have supported us. Thank you!
The Golden Lantern
is published quarterly.
