Review by: diogenes (Rob)
Dated: 1st of February, 2007
This is the first outing of a new volume to the Writers' and Artists' yearbook collection, and I daresay, a welcome addition for all the budding poets in the world.
The previous volumes of the Writers' and Artists' yearbook had few pages devoted to the art of poetry, and clearly with an increased interest in poetry, this new book dedicated solely to poetry has been long overdue.
The Poetry Writers' yearbook is divided into just about every section possible to aid the poets' treacherous path to getting their work published and hopefully, getting paid for their efforts; to entering competitions, finding agents, poetry festivals and far more than any one poet could ever imagine; making this volume absolutely indispensable for every poet or 'wannabe' poet.
There may be many imitations in the future, but the original will never be bettered.
