Yezra asked pleasefindthis:

What's the best way to get poetry out there? I've been writing a lot and I just wanted to know how to start getting it out there. Thank you in advance.

pleasefindthis You get poetry out there by sharing it, which sounds like a dumb answer but that's the truth. If people like what you write, they share it with their friends who then share it with their friends. At least that's the way it seems to work from where I sit.

Note: keeping this at the front of your mind means that you will attempt to write popular poetry, which is not always the same thing as good poetry.

You can also read your poetry at open mic nights although I don't do that nearly as often as I used to. Poetry that's meant to be read and poetry that's meant to be heard are often two different things.
