I spoke to a group of writers today, and one gentleman asked me about agents who represent poetry. I had no idea what to tell him. Does anyone here know where to look for this information?

This is a very nice elderly gentleman whose wife passed away a few months ago. I've read some of his work and loved it. I'd really like to help him. (Okay, I would really like you guys to help him. <S>)

Thanks,

Nancy

i've never known of an agented poet, per se. 15% of free contributor copies ain't much.

i'm sure poets have representation when they negotiate book deals, but those are relatively rare indeed.
