I think agents ARE accepting poets, but I don't know who or how or when. I would recommend submitting poems to magazines known to publish poetry for children to build a track record for your work. That can get your name and your work out there and build your poetry portfolio. And get involved in SCBWI, if you aren't already. There are great opportunities to meet with fellow writers and even editors and publishers there. Hope that helps a bit!Sylvia Vardellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00570078181499700656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31122236.post-38600644001639005562017-01-18T12:58:49.256-06:002017-01-18T12:58:49.256-06:00Impressive list!

I've written around forty poems from a child's perspective but have no idea what to do with them. As far as I know no one represents poetry in order to find an agent. I feel like it's a catch 22. No one represents poetry but a person can't get published without one. Any ideas of what to do with these poems?
