"In How to make a Living as a Poet, Gary Mex Glazner details how a diverse group of American scribes found ways to integrate poetry into their financial plans until they could do what many writers consider unthinkable - list their life's passion on their tax forms." "From marketing ideas on how to break out of the "poetry ghetto" to analyzing the economic effects of poetry festivals, Glazner shows exactly how it's possible to not just survive but thrive off one's art. And that holding on to integrity and inspiration while doing so isn't just a worthy personal goal, but an essential part of bringing poetry to a large audience."--Jacket.
