Upon signing up I immediately received several email notifications for default occurrences (a friend request from the creator, a private message from the creator, invitation to a group) - this isn't a great user experience, most people don't like getting email notifications en mass like this, especially for a thing they just signed up for to try out.
Also when I went to settings to try to turn off email notifications, all but one set of the radio buttons to toggle them were missing.
As a poet I would love to see a non-spammy poetry based social site take off. Best of luck getting there.

We will work on reducing the amount of email to appear less spammy

I didn't finish signing up. Why should 'Where are you from?' be a required field?
There is a lot of information being requested considering I dont know what the app is or does because there is no explanation on the landing page.

“Where are you from?” is a required field because it allows our members to network & interact with members in particular regions of the world.

OK but maybe this should be 'Where are you based?'

A literature network is an online community for artist of all kinds (poets, authors, published writers, journalists, educators, etc.) to share and collaborate their work/pieces with other registered members.

That's impossible though — for example in Chrome, (⌥ ⌘ I) opens DevTools & I can copy whatever I like.

Average users will get frustrated that they can't right click.

I'm interested, but clicking "Back to Poets Know It" redirects me to the login page I'm clicking from.

I'm not to fond of the icons. But the spinning wheel is sort of fun.
