"It is not metres, but a metre-making argument that makes a poem – a thought so passionate and alive, that, like the spirit of a plant or an animal, it has an architecture of its own, and adorns nature with a new thing ... thought and form are equal in the order of time, but in the order of genesis the thought is prior to the form."  Ralph Waldo Emerson Most likely, our reply will be a few additional questions or comments related to the information that you sent us. If we believe that you have potential we will ask you to either email us, or mail us, a copy of your work. Because we know what we are looking for we usually can make a final decision within 10 days of receiving all your materials.   Note: If you receive an error message after you hit the "Submit" button, please email  form @ poetsliteraryagency.com  with the answers to these questions. * = Required Information
