How do I get my poetry finally noticed?

I have had several of my poems published in books but that doesn’t seem to be enough. How do I get my poetry REALLY noticed?

Write other kinds of literature. Such as a novel. Then your poems will be “noticed”. But if you only want to write poetry, then you have to build up an oeuvre and not just “several” poems. This is just not enough. In order to become a “poet”, one must build up a sum of different pieces or, like many great poets (even contemporary ones, such as Charles Olson or Derek Walcott) write long narrative poems with an epic vein.


I’m a carnivore. I like veins and sinew in my epics as well…


The world is full of rejection and you have to live with it. Continue writing your poetry, I’m sure its beautiful. Don’t write if its only to be noticed. Write because you love it, write what you feel, see, and experience. Make sure your poetry represents your thoughts and feelings.

You should definitely continue publishing your work, it may take awhile but your poetry will be noticed and appreciated. All great artists struggle. And no matter how hard it seems Never sell out, because then your poetry wont be a part of you.

Maybe you should enter a poetry contest – just a thought.
