Does anyone have an idea where to publish feminist poetry? I'm having a hell of a time getting my work out there because of our patriarchal society. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Here's a poem I wrote called Cleopatra. It's about women being seduced by the cult of ambition. The MALE cult of ambition I should say. Not that females can't be ambitious. And it's about the compassion that only females, as mothers (not that we should be expected to carry children) are capable of.

My cunny untappED,
A placid pasture
Of sisterhood.
The nourishing flow,
Is knowledge
My valley is
Pristine,
Clean of what you sow
He-devil.
The earth, our mother
And
My hollow is home.
Cleopatra I call to you
Sister of the Nile,
Set aside thy asp,
Phallic assassin.
I offer you sanctuary.
In my valley
I offer a home
I offer what no RoMAN
Has ever known.
Cleopatra my sister,
Cleopatra come home.
Cleopatra
My
Sister.

u should try to post it in the LJ communities feminist or feminist_rage, but I don't think it would work out elsewhere ^__^

Aren't you a hardcore chauvinist, Cleetus?

PS.Poem was lovely.

I guess everyone is a critic. I'd say start by writing poetry that isn't cliched and terrible, but that's just me. Either way, Poet's Market is the book to get, you can pick it up for around 20 or 30 quid in Barnes & Noble, less online, and as it is a reference guide, if you bring a notebook, you could just copy down names and addresses in the Starbucks connected to B&N.
