Publisher's Synopsis
In the original International Directory in 1965 there was a scant 250 total listings covering all subjects. While poetry was then, and is now, the largest single subject category, the sheer volume of poetry publishing today exceeds that of thirty-one years ago by a magnitude of perhaps ten. This directory was started in 1985 and is now in its 13th Edition. There are more than 2,200 book and magazine publishers listed here who use poetry of one kind or another. The Subject Index for this directory has grown since the first edition to dozens of subject categories of poetry.
