Don - I'm sure you and yours are also aware, but may need reminding, that most poetry publishers would only publish a collection of 230 poems, or more, if it was a "best of", or suchlike, from one or more of those "big names" that you and CB just mentioned. Also, you just ignored the journals (written and oral) I gave you; further, my aim was, and my preference still is, to be an amateaur folkie and poet - but, yes, if offered payment, I'd take it: I'm obliged to as I'm presently unemployed from manaufacturing or other work.
Mandotim - your questions may not be "mischievous", or derived from oneupmanship, but I think they are far from "simple"...I'm knocking, sorry.
