It's easy to go the website and at least look through a table of contents of many of the journals. <br />I love reading how other people send their stuff out.Carol Berghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15020790732611928633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294176875047610623.post-857826060151616922009-12-23T06:54:50.691-08:002009-12-23T06:54:50.691-08:00Susan, I, too, had that rush of optimism when my f...Susan, I, too, had that rush of optimism when my first poem appeared in print (Natural Bridge, 10 years ago). I'd been sending work out into the world for four years before the first poem found a home. I thought I was set. "Little did I know..." is exactly right! <br /><br />I admit to being a furious simultaneous submitter, although I've lessened the number of journals a single batch of poems might go to as my work has matured and been accepted more frequently. Whenever I read a book of poems, I check out the acknowledgments page for new journals to research (god bless the internet, which makes this MUCH easier than it was 15 years ago). I've been building a database for a decade and it constantly surprises me that there seems to be a never ending supply of journals I've never heard of, but that publish great work. I love your state game and may just plot out where I've succeeded and which states need to come into play.

I've saved the check from my first published poem, too - from Berkeley's Americas Review in the amount of $10. My friend Angela framed it in red velvet for me nearly 18 years ago... I don't have any thoughts for you on where to submit poems, as I haven't done it myself in quite some time. Do you have a favorite directory that lists places to publish, both print and online? I need to start thinking about this again...Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05211528951336098923noreply@blogger.com
