Modern Poetry: its writing and appreciation

[Torana]

I was recently speaking with a lady in the publishing industry after submitting some of my poetry and getting a knock back.

She had contacted me personally as she was quite impressed by the pieces that I had submitted and believe me I was very greatful for her kind words and I have been asked to resubmitt my poetry later on. As per usual.

Well she was kind enough to put me onto a few sites that offer some excellent information on poetry and poetry publicating.

So I thought that I would share one of the links with everyone here as I feel that it has some wonderful information that I am sure many of you may benefit from in the future.

I have found this site to be extremely helpful and recommend anyone here that is serious about their poetry take the time to have a look at some of the information that it provides.

Nice. Thanks Torana.

It also has some good suggestions on critiquing poetry.

[Frost]

Great site that. Thanks for the link.

[Torana]

You are both very welcome. Glad that you have found it useful.

I'll have a look-see.

'publicating'?... cute bit o' coinage there, torana, but i wouldn't use it when dealing with agents and 'publicators'!... ;-)

in re that nicely recommended site, american writers should be advised/aware that poetry and poets are seen quite differently in the uk and commonwealth countries, compared to how they're perceived and dealt with in the states...

so, while this uk-based/aimed site is good for a lot of things, i doubt it can be all that useful or accurate in presenting the options for american poets in the american publishing markets...

[Torana]

Yes well I noticed that also maia, but I have found that the rest of the information on the site is most helpful.
It does not just offer advice on publication though, it offers information on a wide variety of things and is the main reason why it was posted here.

Thanks, that is very interesting.

[mammamaia]

there's no question it's a useful/helpful post, torana...

i'm just hoping another similar site can be found/posted that will reflect the state of the art of poetry and its publication in the us, in addition to this one...

[Torana]

Eoin thankyou, glad you found it interesting.

Maia thankyou kindly and I will do everything possible to find a site that provides this kind of information for everyone from any country.
All you have to do is ask me and I am more than happy to help out where I can and find any information that I can.

I will spend some time today searching for a site that relates to the US for those who are from the US. Thankyou kindly for pointing that out to me maia.

I hope that I can find what it is you are after though.

P.S. If anyone would like me to find information on publishing for them for any country please let me know and I will see what I can do for you.
