Excerpt from Chapter One:  "Publishing Your Poetry" -- "First things first.  As easy as it sounds, it is not so easy to get your poetry published even if you’ve been at it for years and years.  There are all kinds of poets out there:  Students, Professors, Hobbyists, Performers, Lyricists, etc.  Just like with most of the Arts, there really is no prerequisite to becoming a poet.  Getting published is an entirely different story.  When the guidebooks and poetry books and how to books suggest that you first begin by reading other books especially poetry that really is good advice.  The best way to get on the way to having your poems published is to first study the works of others."

Excerpt from Chapter One "Ways to Sneak Poetry Writing Time Into Your Day" -- "Just like the title says, if you want to get time to write your poetry and you aren’t a full-time poet then you’ll have to find time to compose your poems somewhere somehow.  If you’re a student or teacher, you can do it at breaks.  Same if you have a job where you have breaks.  But depending on how prolific you are or how disciplined you are at starting a piece and picking up and finishing it at a later time, 5-15 minute breaks may not work for you.  I find myself squeezing works in during my morning commute.  Right now my commute averages 10 minutes so that gives me little time to complete anything."
