My daughter has to read a book of poetry and do a report on it by making a flowchart or newscast. (This is really odd, I think.) Anyway, is there something you could suggest? Next month’s assignment is a biography – any thoughts? Thank you.

LiviaAnn asked:


I’ve heard that rhyming in poetry is kind of dead, I guess, and people like to read more free verse now. Is this true? I always write in rhyme. It’s just more comfortable to me. And having to twist words around so they fit in a rhyme better is just fun to me, and gets me thinking more creatively.

poeticjustice asked:


I have been trying to find a poetry publisher for my book of poems, but most of them keep saying that they are not “accepting unsolicited manuscripts at this time.” Do you know of any publishers, or mags that I could submit my poems to, including chapbook publishers?

Note: I do not want to publish my work with poetry.com, Publish America, Authorhouse, or lulu.com.

Thank you.
