Getting published

I've often been asked whether it's possible to make money out of poetry, and how one could try and get published. I have some thoughts (but not firm plans) to offer on this, but you won't be reading them today, as it's compelling outside. In the meantime, you could read this article from the NY Times on self-publishing. Bear in mind that there are diferences between the market for prose and the market for poetry - size is only one part of it.

If you like Fado, Mariza and Madredeus will both be performing in the UK during May. I have missed the La Linea festival and the great Milton Nascimento, but have the whirling dervishes of Konya, Nitin Sawhney (got the Amsterdam gig booked) and WOMAD to shake n jiggle my groove thang to.
