The article was very interesting, each poet was asked how long the book took to put together, how many years to publish, how many places submitted, their influences, real jobs, advice and what they were currently working on.
Main theme: forget about writing and write, which is easier to say when Poets & Writers has just picked you as a debut poet. Kind of like a skinny girl telling you, she eats everything. But I would say the average time an author submitted his or her manuscript was over 50 and highest being over a hundred, which means of course I'm a lazy ass.
Cool things: there was stay at home mother on this list, people without MFA’s and a park ranger from Maine.

Very consoling that people without MFAs can publish a book. Perhaps even an aging waitress?
Definetly!!
