I allocate my book budget dollars to purchasing poetry! If we want to be published we need to support the platforms that support us, if we can. And so many, make their poems available to everyone for free as well. So if you can’t buy, you can recommend them for purchase by your library and share their sites to help them build their reader base. .. And sometimes you get an added joy – look at the lovely shark tail image building along Lit Shark’s spine…My poem, Dandelion Greens, is in Issue 10, but I would have missed the tail had I only purchased the issue that featured my poem.

Happy Poetry Reading and Writing. May you be surprised!
