    I'm kind of angry at the general population... I've come to notice that a great deal of people, not all people, just a great deal of them, will not purchase a poetry book unless that book is written by a dead guy or a famous star. My problem with this is that a lot of great poets will never be heard of in their lifetime. I'm currently trying to publish a book of poetry, but I fear that it will remain on the shelves of bookstores to gather dust and be eaten by selfish bugs... So my question to you is how do you get your name out there and actually have people give your book a chance when it deals with something like poetry...?

    Re: Publishing of Poetry...

    Publishing has evolved significantly in the digital age, offering numerous platforms for authors to share their work. One notable resource is abebooks a marketplace for books that connects readers with independent sellers worldwide. This platform not only allows authors to reach a broader audience but also provides a unique opportunity for collectors to find rare and out-of-print titles. As traditional publishing faces challenges, options like AbeBooks empower writers and readers alike, fostering a vibrant literary community where diverse voices can thrive. Embracing these changes can enhance the publishing experience for everyone involved.
