At www.eldanore.com they have a hard copy booklet that they print out about every 2 months called Elves of Camelot. They accept original poems stories and artwork. However, since they have only released issue #2, they can't afford to pay people for their stuff. Check it out and see what you think.

Hope that helps.

Question: how much contemporary poetry do you read? There's an awful lot too many people who "write poetry" who never crack the spine of a book of contemporary poetry.

If you do read, look in the Acknowledgements page of the last collection you read and liked. There will be a list of poetry magazines there. Google the names of these magazines, find out their addresses and order some copies. Read the magazines, find out if you like what they publish, then send no more than six poems to each one. Not forgetting the stamped addressed envelope that will ensure that you will at least be read. Don't expect more than a copy of the magazine, payment is a bonus, but don't ever pay for publication. Ever.

If you don't read any poetry by a living person, don't bother sending anyone anything. People who don't read don't learn.
