HOW TO MAKE MONEY IN POETRY

I was recently asked whether I planned to submit my 2010 book THE THORN ROSARY to a poetry contest. After replying, Naaaah (whilst thinking, Pleeeez), I was asked to judge the contest.

Which leads me to the following revelation: if you want to make money in the poetry world, don't submit your books to contests. Collect the poetry contest judging fees instead.

I am here to serve with gems of wisdom that'll even make you rich enough to fix your teeth. Huz. Zah.
