Pace Mairead, to be serious for a moment. The
word "still" a bit misleading. Well into the 19th
century almost all new poetry was self-published.
That said, the stigma, such as it is, pertains I
think only to poets who aren't already published
by others. Whatever "published" means these days.
Best,
Mark
