How to Choose Publications for Your Poetry
“You’ve written and revised your poetry and now you have some finished work you’d like to share with an audience. To help yourself focus on the types of markets you’d like to be published in, ask yourself what’s most important to you. Consider the following and rate each by importance. If they are all equal, that’s ok!”

As always, very helpful guidelines and tips, Trish. Especially important reminders include not to worry about how much your peers are published, and to take a break from poetry if the urge or impulse to write, revise, etc. just isn’t present for a time. Thank you so much for this article, and for all your generous sharing with the poetry community.
