Creative Writing - poetry publishing Questions



Question #1:

Finding a job with Asperger's Syndrome?!?

How do I find a job that I can do well but alone?

I already tried looking into library jobs..but there aren't any I qualify for. Everytime I get a job, no matter how much I love the actual job, I have serious communication issues no matter what. I misunderstand everything apparently and automatically assume everyone hates me. I can't seem to break out of it.

*I am horrible at math and science although science intrigues me
*I am a published author of two poetry books but I seem to have hit a writers block and make very little royalties on my first two
I'd love to go to college but cannot afford it. I was denied financial assistance

Question #2:

I would love to have all my dads poems printed in a book for xmas..not published so need advice what to do...?

my dad has wrote many many fantastic poems through all his life based on his life etc...totally amazing pieces of poetry. a few have been published...only through people pushing him etc but would love to have all his poems made into a book. i don't want to publish the book, i want to get this book professionally made and give it him for xmas. He is so talented and his work is wasted sitting in folders in his house, i know he would love this but haven't a clue where to go.

Question #6:

Are there any poems about books?

I am doing a poetry project and need a poem about books, preferably something by a published poet, but it doesn't HAVE to be. I would really appreciate the help. (:

Question #7:

How can I get my writing in the New York Times or some other big newspaper?

I am really good at writing poetry and short stories and that kind of thing, and I was wondering how and even if it was possible to get some of them published in the New York Times? A lot of people have read them and say that they are amazing, but I would LOVE to be able to publish them anywhere at all. Thanks!!!

Question #8:

What happened to Poetry.com?

Okay so I am a published poet but years ago I did a few poems on a site I believe it was poetry.com but some reason I go there and it is LULU poetry now and none of my hard work. I am frustrated and clueless. Anyone know what happened or do I have the site wrong. I know it's a popular site that I am published on and I am almost positive it's poetry.com

Question #9:

Attention all Y!A Answerers!! Will you do me a big favor?

Okay, so I'm trying to get a poem published in a poetry magazine called Teen Ink.
Basically, the more good ratings it gets, the better the chances of it being published.

If you could go read it and rate it (I would love 5 stars!) I would really appreciate that.

If you comment with your Y!A name as the "screen name" then I'll choose one of those as the best answer.

Thanks a lot, and please remember to support the arts!

You also have to let me know on here that you rated it, so I can choose a best answer.

Question #10:

Translating my works in English, what should I do?

I am married, live in Alencon, it's my second marriage (my first husband Charles died). With my second husband Henry I had a daughter, Jeanne. (We had a son, Jean, but he died as a baby). My parents educated me well, they were well off, and I had the best tutors, I even learned Latin. I wrote since early childhood, both poems and prose, for myself. I am very religious, so I wrote devotional and secular poetry. At last I published a a two-volume collection of my works, which included plays, lyrics, and longer poems. Then I wrote one more play ("La comedie de Mont-de-Marsan"), two long poems: Le navire ("The ship"), Les prisons. Then I wrote a collection of tales called Heptameron des nouvelles. I am fairly well known in France. But abroad, alas, they know only my Heptameron des nouvelles! Most of my poems and letters are not translated into English, for example. I'd like them to be, it will bring new audience to me, but I don't know where to start or what to do. Can the French government provide a grant for this purpose or something? What should I do?

Question #11:

Can you explain to me what this poet is explaining throughout this poem, im not understanding everything?

Besides the obvious technological and architectural advances, only one thing has really changed between our generations:



We now live in an America where blacks are not only allowed the right to vote but can become the Redeemer President of the United States



Otherwise, we still live in an America where the audacity to openly enjoy the pleasures of sex and being respected for wisdom are contradictions without reconciliation



We still live in an America where the economy collapses while the masses are consumed with preventing the rights of anyone with a fancy for anything out of the ordinary



We still live in an America where rotting leaves, tufts of straw, and debris are found in more homes than poetry books



We still live in an America where Christ and Dracula provide both excitement and fear for restless lives longing for a simple touch



We still live in an America where the impact of urbanization reaches out to the common person more than the obscene nature of poetry



We still live in an America where writing about prostitution is considered trashy and profane



We still live in an America where poets have to work while publishing to survive financial difficulty unless they are fashioned like Shakespeare



We still live in an America where, unless you belong to a church, you are a religious skeptic believing in nothing



We still live in an America where overt sexuality, siding with the barnburners, and authoring disreputable books limit poets to a vagabond lifestyle



We still live in an America where breaking tradition and the boundaries of poetic form are considered the trademarks of a pretentious ass



We still live in an America where everything from thieves to dwarfs to fog to beetles deserve validity



We still live in an America where books cannot prevent war and the sick and wounded need healing



We still live in an America where not everyone can appreciate the beauty of immigration, crowded streets, brutal differences, urban affection



We still live in an America where the same sun that once invigorated your passion continues to provide us with the beauty of life worth fighting for



We still live in an America where America still lives in us

Question #12:

Wrote a controversial poem, what should I do?

I am 38, married, it's my second marriage (my first husband died). With my second husband Henry I had a daughter, Jeanne. Then, I became pregnant again and had a son, Jean. He was born July 7 but died just months later. I was grief stricken. My parents educated me well, they were well off, and I had the best tutors, I even learned Latin. I wrote since early childhood, both poems and prose, for myself. I am very religious, so I wrote devotional and secular poetry. After my son's death I wrote a poem, and called it "Mirror of the Sinful Soul". I talked to Christ in it: "And now I can call thee son, father, spouse, and brother." I talked about sweet virgin Mary, who lost her son, too. I allowed it to be published, hoping that it would be a consolation to people in similar circumstances. But it started a row of controversy. Theologians announced it a heresy. Some churchman said that I should be sewn into a sack and thrown into the Seine. Some students satirised me in their amateur play and called me a "fury from Hell". In addition to my family loss, I now have this! What should I do?

Question #13:

Please give me your opinion on this poem?

I just wrote this a minute ago so I haven't revised it at all. I just want to know that I'm getting my message across without confusion. It's definitely not my best poem but any opinion helps. I have a poem published and read some of poetry at school and family events so I can take criticism. My poems usually don't rhyme either I think that's why I need opinions on this one.

At night I lie awake in bed
And no one knows the tears I've shed

Pain is tearing at my heart
Yet no one knows the hurt I cart

I shed a few tears and then a few more
Now I'm physically aching at my core

Because where she finds her serene bliss
Is in closed eyes and opened wrists

She confides in me but I'm to weak
For of my own troubles I do not speak

I keep it all locked away
But she pours it out to me every day

Still no one finds time to make time
But if they only knew what's on my mind

How do I help her when I can't help myself?
Sometimes I don't know why I hide in such stealth

Question #14:

Hey guys do anybody know of a Poetry publishing company.?

And the telephone number of the company.

Thanks

Question #15:

What is the best way to publish a book of dramatic monologues?

Original Scripts? Original Poetry. Bless you!

Question #16:

can a poem have every line rhyme and still be respected?

I am taking an Eng class and we are learning about various forms of poetry. I realize the rules for poems are very obscure, but I also know there are certain rhyme schemes that are considered standard in the industry (aabb, abba, aaba, abab,) Of all the rhyme schemes that I have seen in this class, I have yet to see a rhyme scheme of aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Now that might seem silly, but I wrote a poem that I put a lot of thought into and it flows very well with that rhyme scheme. I have thought of changing the words but it is difficult not to take away from the poems originality. Does anyone know of any published poems that were written with a rhyme scheme like that? thanks

Question #17:

i have to get my father's book published. He writes poetry in hindi. What is the process for the same ?
