[close] Poetry Books Don’t Sell! is now available on Lulu Press as a print book. It will be widely available on other on-line booksellers, such as Barnes & Nobles, Amazon, etc in four to six weeks.

Poetry Books Don’t Sell! The author doesn’t know why this is. He
cannot explain it. It simply is a truism among the publishing world:
no one buys poetry books. Only a handful of already-famous poets’ have
their books purchased by the reading public. The poetry of thousands
of other poets remains unbought, unread, languishing unloved without
due attention. It seems many readers are intimidated by poetry, afraid
they won’t like it or understand it, while most readers actually would
find reading poetry entertaining and enjoyable … if only they were willing to give it a try. The poetry in this book is accessible to all readers, being easy to read and understand. The poems included in this book will entertain readers, either by being thought-provoking, emotionally-engaging, or amusing. The author is confident that most readers would love this poetry, if only there were some way to get them to buy either a print copy or an e-book version.

The poetry in this book addresses a wide variety of subjects. It is written
in various formats or styles, including forty-three rhyming storoems (story-
poems), six acrostic poems, five political poems, and twenty-nine free-verse poems. Seven older poems (prize-winners and author’s favorites) are included as lagniappe. These ninety storoems and poems offer the reader hours upon hours of reading pleasure. [close]
