Question: Does anyone actually read poetry anymore!?
I have written a poetry book i have been writing it since i was 8!. i have 35 poems all of very different context and subject but me and the people who have read them say they are really good!. Some of them are really happy and silly and some are are serious and dark!.

Is there any way to publish a book and would anybody actually read it!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Before a publisher will take an interest in your book, you'll probably have to establish a track record by publishing poems in magazines!. The book "Poet's Market" is full of information about journals that publish poetry!.

This site lists many online poetry zines:

Many people read poetry these days, and the best journals receive tons of submissions!. It's a thrill to have your work accepted for publication, but you often have to pay your dues by enduring lots of rejection!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

there are so many diff't ways of publishing today, that shouldn't be a prob

and people DO read poetry that's a fact

only "but" there would be the readership: two or two hundred people

two thousand would be a small miracle
