I shared poems with a friend yesterday. In tears, she said I should publish them but she had 2 requests. One of just the poems + another of me reading them. She said I have a way of saying what she’s feeling.

This terrifies me but enough people have told me to publish my poems that I may figure it out someday. Writing poetry has been a *huge* outlet for me.
Another friend just texted me a poem + we agreed to figure out publishing together.

@StacieBee I haven't been active in lit circles in a while, but it used to be that Duotrope and Submissions Grinder where great tools for figure out where to send work.
if these aren't already on your radar I hope this helps!
Thanks so much!
@StacieBee
It can be a terrifying thing, but also so, so rewarding.
If all else fails, self publish.
The simple act of holding a physical book of your own work, even if you never sell a copy, is absolutely incredible.
