Publish your poetry; there are more options than ever

By Kay B. Day
Published: May 1, 2007
I was doing poetry critiques after my workshop at a writing conference when a retired professor sat down to tell me his tale of woe. He'd self-published a book of poetry. At the moment he had 10,000 copies of the book in his garage. His credit card now had a large debt burden. "And I can't give the books away," he said. "The quality is really poor." Many writers have shared stories like the professor's. Courtesy of technology, it's not mandatory that you spend large sums of money to publish your poems.
