The question of money and poetry often garners laughter followed by snide remarks about not quitting your day job. While it’s true, many professional poets have other jobs to supplement their work as artists, there are ways to better position yourself and make your mark (and some money) as a poet.

 Join us for this pre-conference panel discussion where we’ll delve into the business side of poetry from the perspective of professional poets across the various facets of the poet’s experience – performance and slam, teaching and facilitating, publishing, editing, building your personal brand, and leveraging social media.

Panelists: Micheline Maylor, Adetola “aloT of Poetry” Adedipe, Cobra Collins, Wendy McGrath, and Wakefield Brewster

Moderator: Jennifer Bowering Delisle
