Traci offers some practical advice about submitting work for publication: “I can’t remember where I first heard the advice, but in an auditorium at some conference buried deep in my memory is the voice of a poet who said five submissions are a joke. If you want to be published, you need to have at least thirty submissions out at all times. At the time I heard that, I don’t think I had even written thirty poems I liked, let alone enough to fill thirty submissions.”
