Summary: As essential as a word processor
Review: If you write poetry and want to publish it you need this book. It's that simple. Magazines, editors, addresses listed in alphabetical order and again in sub groups, i.e. religous, nature, humor and so forth. The web listings - the word is really getting out-give addresses which frequently present sample works and special topics/guidelines. How useful is the book? Well I've placed ten poems this year using addresses found in it, half of this year's placements. I think it probably saved me the purchase cost in stamps and manuscripts alone.

Summary: get it!
Review: If you're aiming at being a published poet, you must follow this book to the last word. I don't care how good your poem is, if it's in a bad manuscript format, it doesn't get read. The only thing wrong with Poet's Market 2005 isn't even their fault - it's that you have to keep buying the new edition every year, to figure out which of the many small presses are still operating that year. A hardcover version would be nice, too.

Summary: The Poet's Bible
Review: This book is a MUST READ for poets interested in publishing their work. The interviews with seasoned poets, editors and publishers are very insightful, and the publication listings provide useful information for poets who want to know if their works would be a good match for a particular journal. I have had success getting published in several of the markets I found in this book. The one down side to Poet's Market is the same down side to any directory or reference book -- as soon as it goes to print, it's out of date. With the constant flux of journals launching and closing their mailboxes, it's impossible for any edition of the Poet's Market to be 100% perfect. However, it's the best guide out there, and definitely needs to be in the library of every poet.

Summary: Poets Looking to Publish need this Book
Review: Well, here it is. The latest edition of this invaluable resource. For poets looking to publish their work, this book is an enormous help. It contains descriptions of 1800 literary magazines, ususally with advice and quotes from the editors of these magazines, along with directions on how to submit poetry to each magazine. There are also short, relatively in-depth interviews w/ poets and editors. I highly recommend this book to any poet who is publishing, or thinking about publishing poetry.

Summary: This is a "MUST HAVE" book for all poets
Review: When I first decided to submit my work for publication 10 years ago. Poet's Market was the first book I bought to help me get started. I've been buying it every year since then, and my writing career has been a success! I am now the author of two poetry books (one is award winning). Poet's Market is where every poet should start and then keep going. . .
