Embrace Your Voice, Even Against the Odds
The journey of a poet illustrates the challenges faced in traditional publishing, particularly in getting poetry recognized and appreciated. Advice from a professor highlights the stark reality of the market's disinterest in poetry, prompting a shift toward submitting individual pieces to various platforms such as anthologies and literary magazines. However, the poet quickly realizes that fragmenting her work is not effective; the pieces are interconnected and should be presented as a cohesive body of work. This realization leads to contemplation of self-publishing. Although initially discouraged by industry perceptions about self-publishing, the poet decides to pursue this route, driven by a desire to connect with a community that resonates with her words. This grassroots approach culminates in the release of her work in 2014, where initial expectations of modest sales are far surpassed, illustrating the power of embracing one's voice and taking bold steps against industry norms.
