Wondering Minstrels
Fantastic site with thousands of poems and comments from a wide variety of people: professors, students, ordinary people who love poetry and, maybe, you!
 
Gillian Clarke's Website
A great site providing an insight into the workings of the poet's mind. Loads of useful stuff about poetic techniques and, for those studying AS poetry, there's some ideas on 'Marged' you may find useful.  Again, useful for the practical criticism opportunities it provides.  Test your reading against that of the poet.
 
Sheer Poetry
Poetry resources by the poets themselves.  Naturally, as good literary theorists you are aware of the anti-intentionalist stance adopted by many critics.  However, it's always interesting to know what a poet thinks about poetry, even if we don't grant them priviliged access to the meaning of their own work!
 
Silvae Rhetoricae
Literally 'The Forest of Rhetoric'.  Any obscure terms you have read in your research of texts may well be lurking within the confines of this metaphorical wood.  Metaphor - now that's a rhetorical term you could search for!
