Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Two literary agencies to consider are:
Ann Tobias: A Literary Agency for Children's Books
Lazear Agency Group, Inc!.

Both are reputable agencies that might help you secure a publisher!. Ann Tobias' address for submissions is:
520 East 84th Street
Apt!. 4L
New York, NY 10028

Send Ms!. Tobias a one-page query letter and a one-page sample of your best work (all double-spaced)!. Include a self-addressed, stamped envelope (or SASE) if you want a response a few months later!.

The Lazear Agency's mailing address is:
431 Second St!.
Suite 300
Hudson, WI 54016

The preferred contact for this agency is The Editorial Board!.
Submit with SASE and include a proposal, synopsis, and your author biography!. They respond in a few weeks!.

Good luck, but know that the bigger market is in fiction novels!.

Michelle,

You really don't need anyone in your area unless you are firm on that part!. Get a copy of Writer's Market for the current year and look up literary agents and those who accept poetry!. It's really hard these days to get poetry published, but it's worth a try!.

You'll need to write a query letter to whomever you choose and let them know what you have!. Remember to add a SASE (self addressed stamped envelope) for them to send back to you!.

Good luck!.
