That's pretty amazing Don: well done indeed. If the climate for this is anything like here in the UK, it is immensely difficult for poets to get published. Mostly it involves really keeping abreast of the "climate", quarterly publications and shmoozing in the right pc circles for ages to even get a chance. Has it been a long process, getting your work read by the "right" people? Have you had to invest your own capital into the publishing?

Well done, that's great news. Congratulations.

Thanks guys. I will never pay to get my work published--that's fraudulent. PublishAmerica gives new authors a break but they do not charge anyone to publish (nor do they pay very well). They will produce real books and provide some resources (like web site and some help in distribution) to sell them. Poetry will almost never make you any money.
