William didn't mention it, but as a puebishlr myself, I am willing to publish LDS poetry, if I think it is of sufficient quality. I expect to have at least one volume of poetry out later this year.My firm, , is fairly new, but we are open to quality literature, especially works that are neglected because of the nature of the market. [For example, we are also looking for foreign language literature, which has been ignored by the LDS market.]But I do agree that poetry is a very difficult sell these days, at least in the LDS market. I have the impression that things have improved in the national market in the last 5-10 years, but that hasn't filtered its way to the LDS market yet.The national market is seeing events like poetry slams and a lot of music these days is closer than ever to spoken poetry.The biggest source of the problem, IMO, is the lack of venues for poetry to reach the public. The LDS market has few venues anyway, and as a result poetry seldom reaches many members of the Church.I think it will eventually turn around -- at least in the very long term (10 years or more). It would probably help if we did more to expose our audience to poetry.
