What is 1998 Poet's Market : 1800 Places to Publish Your Poetry about?

Make money from your poetry! Or at least earn yourself a few copies of the publication in which it appears. Well, you're not in it for the money, anyway (are you?). We certainly hope not: many journals even charge poets a reading fee. That said, the 1998 Poet's Market is a great resource; most of the journals in which poets publish are generally obscure and hard to hunt down. These listings of poetry-welcoming publications include all the necessary stuff (addresses, contacts, contributor guidelines), and many excerpt poetry from the journals' pages. Best by far are the poetry editors' rather poetic descriptions of the work they seek. We want "poetry that does for the mind what that first sip of Molson Ale does for the palate," states one (Abbey Cheapochapbooks). "Don't send paeans to the pommel, Jesus in the sagebrush, haiku about the Eiffel Tower," begs another (Ahsahta Press). Send "anything which staves off boredom and desperation even for a moment," sighs a third (Angel Exhaust). You'll also find listings of contests, awards, grants, conferences, workshops, and writers' colonies.
