Anyone know good poetry publishers?

Question

I have been looking for one for some time, but I can't seem to find one. I don't want to self-publish either.

I would like a book published actually.

Also, no offense to anyone, but www.poetry.com I'm pretty sure is a scam.

Answer 1

The annual edition of "Poet's Market" published by Writer's Digest Books is an excellent source of contacts for selling poetry, from individual poems to books of poetry. It lists small literary publishers, university press publishers, as well as major commercial publishing houses. You can probably find a link to Writer's Digest Books through the magazine's URL at www.writersdigest.com. If you've not published before, it may be difficult to find a publisher. Look at The Academy of American Poets website for examples of what is being published now at www.poets.org. Most are well established poets, many with academic backgrounds. Personally, I'm going the self publishing route, first with a blog for my poetry on Yahoo! 360. See the link with my information on Yahoo! Answers. Good luck to you, though. From a fellow poet.
