In the UK poetry publishers do exist, such as my last one Peterloo, now alas defunct, my next one, Enitharmon, and Ann and Bill's, Cinnamon, which would not do so were it not for The Arts Council, a Government body which gives them money - and still does, though less, in these straitened times.
Another reason to buy our books.
PS I don't know about the economics of Jayne's publisher. Publishing hese days is much cheaper than it was, as I think Tim pointed out. I've sometimes thought of going in for it myself, but not for long, it's a blody life's work. Vive Able Muse!
