Signature stills pulshbies about one volume of poetry a year.If you are looking for poetry sales -- you won't get very far.If you are simply looking to publish poetry, then Dialogue, Irreantum, Sunstone, Segullah and BYU Studies all publish poetry. The last major Mormon poetry anthology was Harvest in 1989. It was published by Signature and is not likely to be repeated because not only is the market worse than ever for poetry, but also the anthology was put together by Eugene England and Dennis Clark and there just isn't anybody around these days with editorial and marketing pull of those two (Dennis Clark is still alive, of course).However, one thing Kent Larsen and I have discussed at A Motley Vision is the idea of poetry chapbooks. This is something that doesn't really exist in the Mormon market even though it's the primary way new poets are published elsewhere (in the U.S.). There are several Mormon poets out there who have published several poems in several of the journals (Darlene Young and Patricia Karamesines, for example), but have no way to take the next step. Since neither the AML nor BYU nor any of the periodicals seem to be interested in taking this step, I think some of the poets should consider forming a co-op to publish chapbooks. With enough sales (which will be very small), grants and fundraising, such a co-op might just be able to publish two chapbooks a year and break even.
