Poets, how do you organize material for publication? Other than random single poems in print, I published on Kindle 1 collection based on a theme. I’m going to pull it and reissue (different publisher) as part of a book I’m calling 3 “collections” (themes) in 1 volume (still writing it).

Much of my work is on different subjects, emotions, thoughts. Do you publish collections without a unifying theme? I’m all about being organized but wonder what a collection of unrelated poems could be like. It will be a joy to write again without a thematic group in mind!

@ElizabethEiler I haven't published a book but I've seen collections of unrelated poems that were more based on shared time period (like poems written during a year of travel or during school) or shared form (like concrete or blackout). I suppose those are sort of themes too!
@anikeaten Themes, topics, types - hard to shape material into concrete collections!
