I have written many poems, but I know virtually nothing about the possibility and process of publication. If you know anything it's more than I do, so please, help me out. How difficult is it to get published? Where do I find names of publishing houses? How do I know my poems will be safe (e.g. not stolen)? Are there certain types of poetry that don't tend to get published? These are a few of my questions. RSVP!
