Congratulations on the beautiful cover and on taking your publishing into your own hands. Many good poets give up when faced with the massive hurdles that contemporary writers have to surmount to get into print. Publicizing your own work isn't easy, but most publishers of poetry don't actually publicize it, either. It is odd that so many people make decisions for careerist motives, when poetry is no help at all for most careers. Those who do it out of love at least have the satisfaction of knowing that poetry is more about sacrifices than about rewards, and that their motives are respectable.
