The economics of poetry publishing (again)

Poet and Meritage Press publisher/editor Eileen Tabios is doing her taxes, and letting us all peek at a tally of her poetry-related expenses vs. her profits for last year at her Chatelaine's Poetics blog. [Note: scroll down to March 27 entry.]

(Thanks, Eileen. I hope switching to POD production helps you keep costs down, and that you'll continue to share your experiences so generously for the enlightenment of all!)

Eileen has also just announced the goodies planned for her 2006 list:
