I am using powerpoint slides (from Microsoft only) for use with poetry presentation on my website. I often wonder if it is fair use of powerpoint presentation slides. Please guide me in this regard.

Another related question of mine would be the use of pictures of William Shakespeare (created in the 19th century) in a website about English literature. Will the use of pictures of Shakespeare and other playwrights be fair?

And lastly, can I write reviews of copyrighted books while using their images/cover pages?

I understand Public domain means 65 years after the death of the creator/author is what makes a work of art available to all. But I am still confused over the above usages.

I'm not a lawyer so take this as you will, and I didn't look at your site nor will I. But Fair Use Copyright allows reproduction for educational purposes with proper citation and no intent to claim the work as your own or sell. It sounds like your literary website would fall into this category, but if you have any concerns then you need to contact an attorney with knowledge of patent and copyright laws.
