How do you get poems published?

[classmate]

No legitimate publisher will be interested in a book of your poetry until after you have established a track record by publishing lots of poems in magazines. For information on magazines, print and online, that publish poetry, take a look at these two sites:

http://www.poetsmarket.com/

http://www.duotrope.com/index.aspx

(Your local library might have a copy of the book "Poet's Market.") Before submitting your work to any journal, be sure to read one or two copies to get a feel for the kind of poetry the editors are interested in.
