I haven't heard back from my yoga teacher, who is in India studying with the Iyengars, just yet.Robbi N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04881145195435485238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717221249845341165.post-5055738151642740712010-06-18T19:34:06.866-07:002010-06-18T19:34:06.866-07:00The lyengar institute people sounds like a great o...The lyengar institute people sounds like a great opportunity. And, once you get the illustrations, hopefully with their help, I have no doubt poets will be able to appreciate the book.Robinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717221249845341165.post-84728108483788061382010-06-18T17:06:16.537-07:002010-06-18T17:06:16.537-07:00Yes Marly.

I have sent out the chapbook to contests, but without illustrations, those innocent of yoga are likely not to bite, I think.<br />I haven't put the full manuscript in shape to send out yet, but when I do, I am likely to wait for the bigger contests to send it to, the ones from University Presses, for example. But I know from your example that a small independent press can be a good alternative.<br />I can see whether the folks at the Iyengar Institute are interested in publishing it. They have many artists capable of doing the illustrations at their beck and call. Of course, poetry people are not so likely to buy the book if they publish it, but maybe that won't matter.Robbi N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04881145195435485238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717221249845341165.post-39414476706816291102010-06-18T11:49:37.318-07:002010-06-18T11:49:37.318-07:00There are more and more smaller publishing outlets...There are more and more smaller publishing outlets I think--picking up the slack as the mainstream houses and university presses cut back on poetry.
