| |  | | Poetry Books Don't Sell!
My latest collection of poetry contains ninety storoems and poems on various topics.
Poetry Books Don’t Sell! The author doesn’t know why this is. He
cannot explain it. It simply is a truism among the publishing world:
no one buys poetry books. Only a handful of already-famous poets’ have
their books purchased by the reading public. The poetry of thousands
of other poets remains unbought, unread, languishing unloved without
due attention. It seems many readers are intimidated by poetry, afraid
they won’t like it or understand it, while most readers actually would
find reading poetry entertaining and enjoyable … if only they were
