Listen Later

Keith Kopka is the recipient of the 2019 Tampa Review Prize for his debut collection of poems, Count Four (University of Tampa Press, 2020). His poetry and criticism have recently appeared in publications such as Best New Poets and mid-American Review among many others.

Keith is also the author of the critical text, Asking a Shadow to Dance: An Introduction to the Practice of Poetry (GRL 2018) and the recipient of the International Award for Excellence from the Books, Publishing & Libraries Research Network.

Currently, he directs the low-res MFA Program at Holy Family University in Philadelphia. He spent many years touring the country in punk and hardcore bands.

In the interview, Keith shares the behind the scenes look at book marketing and book publishing of poetry through his personal experience - experience that he brought directly into his poetry.

Keith shares:

* The place poetry award programs play in poetry publishing and marketing

* His successful book review outreach for his book “Count Four”

* Why MFA programs are important for writers

* How publishing in other places: literary magazines, et al is a great help to market your books

* Two site resources for writers: Duotrope and Submittable
