RE: If you’re writing and/or submitting a second, third, fourth, etc. book, what resources have you found helpful? What posts, podcasts, videos, craft essays or craft books, newsletters, interviews, techniques, or exercises are you leaning on?
Well, for sure, YOUR newsletter, Emily! The Poetry Bulletin! It's wonderful!
In putting together a book of poems, Susan Rich and I edited Demystifying the Manuscript: Essays and Interviews on Creating a Book of Poems--a book which has a lot of different views and ideas by so many of our favorite poets.
For submitting, learning about putting together a book of poems, (and writing poems), @twosylviaspress Substack the Weekly Muse is a good go to--we always try to include questions about putting together a book of poems in our interview.
The best advice I have received is from Linda Bierds which is --know why you're making the choices you're making. This is for writing a poem, but I always thought this was excellent advice in putting together a book of poems!
Just an update for your list. The Benjamin Saltman Poetry Prize (red Hen Press) appears closed today (Nov. 1st). It looks like the deadline was Oct. 31st on the website.
