I just printed my first chapbook of poetry today and will be giving copies to all my friends as I use up my school printing credit for the rest of the semester
Anyone else ever do small time DIY publishing for fun?

I'm doing this week! Im p excited. I've been published in small magazines (going for some bigger ones this year) and It's nice to have a thing I have more control over.

Greentext your best poem
>>9424680
Best? nah but heres one I like without greentext
maybe I'll miss the
solitary soundtrack
scratching away
the silver ink of dusk
beaten dog baritone
and fuck you falsettos
rising to a domestic- crisis
crescendo
with the cow choir
diesel beasts rattle my road
as the fine china
finds the floor

Please be bait.
>>9424803
HYLAS! NOOOOOOO!
>>9424803
didn't like it? how come?
>>9424723
good of you to put your work on display
better of you to realize there's always room for improvement. Keep going anon

I like it a lot.
Most people here don't like anything remotely contemporary (partially because of the style, but mostly because a lot of people on lit are the equivalent of those douchey teenagers who think the only good music was made fifty years ago and they were "born into the wrong time period, man"). Don't listen to them. That is a very good poem. I wish I could call it my own.
Curious to know where you've had things published. I don't write very good poetry, but I've made some money for short fiction and won a decently sized contest a few months ago. Always looking for new poetry to read.
Keep up the good work.

I've never actually been published anywhere. This year I've started entering competitions and sending out submissions for magazines in addition to my chapbook bullshit
Thanks bud

We must overcome even our untimeliness.
And are you the guy who won a fiction contest by lying about what state he lived in?

I really dig this. I think all the images in the second half work well in sequence to give an interesting montage quality. I almost wish the first half was more visual and less auditory.
>>9424723
it's good
something's wrong with 'rattle my road' tho, not sure what
but yeah it's good

would punctuation make a difference before leaving the "auditory parts" before going into the visual parts?
>>9424723
fuck off rupi
>>9424723
That is a good poem. Keep up the good work!
