TO ENTER YOUR POETRY IN OUR ONGOING ANTHOLOGY CONTESTS CLICK
HERE
Poets published by J.Mark Press are required to vote for
their favorite poems
in each anthology. This guarantees an audience for all J. Mark poets ,
not just a readership of vain poets gloating
over their own poem.
THE BIG WINNERS
Welcome to our family!
Serious poets enjoy reading
everyone's contribution at J. Mark Press.
Click here to see the
top winners of 2000
We expect our poets to be an audience to their fellow poets.
(just as the classic poets of the past were.)
Reading excellent expressions will stimulate your own
thought processes and make you a better poet!
If you love to admire only your
own poem,
you need to get published
where everyone reads only their own poem,
( just like you do.)
Congratulations to our
