This guide to publishing poetry is designed for the poet on a journey from being faced with a pile of poems to celebrating at a book launch. If you have been writing poetry for some time and have already accumulated a volume of work, this guide is designed to meet you where you are in your book creation or publication process. It is organized into five sections to mimic the distinct phases of conceiving, arranging, editing, publishing, and promoting a poetry collection. Each of these sections provides a mix of theoretical materials and practical assignments to demystify and ground the publication process.
