Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Bugeja is the former poetry columnist for Writer's Digest , as well as a poet in his own right, and he's assembled an invaluable package of information for the bard who knows verse can't be taught -- it can't -- but wants the goods on organizing and publicizing readings, compiling chapbooks, submitting to magazines, negotiating with editors, etc. It may not be art, but it's vital, because, as Bugeja notes in his preface, "... I stopped believing good work speaks for itself... (it) speaks for itself in front of the right editor." Here's how to find her.
From Library Journal
Bugeja, poetry columnist for Writer's Digest, provides a practical guidebook on how to get poetry written, published, and performed. Seven thoughtful chapters discuss fundamentals of assembling, publishing, and promoting chapbooks and books; poetry readings and "slams"; types of contests and workshops; researching poetry markets and submitting poems; dealing with editors; and case studies in revising poems. Also included are insightful commentary from "prestigious creative writers" (David Citino, Ruth Daigon, Jonathan Holden, Laurel Speer), numerous examples of poems with critiques, and a glossary of literary and publishing terms. Each chapter concludes with recommended assignments at beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels and incorporates correspondence and other material from Bugeja's files. Successor to the late Judson Jerome at Writer's Digest, Bugeja offers user-friendly advice that strikes a balance between hard work and delight. For creative writing teachers and poets with a serious commitment to becoming published.?Frank Allen, Northampton Community Coll., Tannersville, Pa.
