Summary: The Poet's Bible
Comment: This book is a MUST READ for poets interested in publishing their work. The interviews with seasoned poets, editors and publishers are very insightful, and the publication listings provide useful information for poets who want to know if their works would be a good match for a particular journal. I have had success getting published in several of the markets I found in this book.
The one down side to Poet's Market is the same down side to any directory or reference book -- as soon as it goes to print, it's out of date. With the constant flux of journals launching and closing their mailboxes, it's impossible for any edition of the Poet's Market to be 100% perfect. However, it's the best guide out there, and definitely needs to be in the library of every poet.

Summary: The Absolutely Perfect Resource for Poets
Comment: Yes, this book gives over 1800 places to publish your poetry, but it contains much other valuable information. It gives you general submission guidelines, and the section covering frequently asked questions would prove to be an incredible asset for beginners. Though I am disappointed that there isn't a larger market for those who wish to submit their work to quality book publishers, this is not the fault of the editors of this resource. The book gives specific information about the poetry publishers and I suggest that those who aspire to break into this market take submission guidelines seriously. As a former publisher who published a few poetry books, it is upsetting to know that someone has submitted their poems without any planning and sometimes without a return envelope. Don't pass up this book if you are a serious poet.

Summary: Necessary for Poets
Comment: Have you bought it yet?
If you are intending to be a published poet, and, like me, no one has heard of you, you need "2002 Poet's Market: 1,800 Places to Publish Your Poetry."
Useful are the icons indicating if they pay, or won awards, etc.
As a poet often writing with religious overtones, I need to know which publications, secular and religious, are open to such poetry. Some do not want to see any sort of religious poetry, and others are open, but with limits, and others welcome it. This book helps me avoid wasting my time, their time, and postage. By using this book, everyone is happy.
I have used this guide successfully to be published. It is thorough, packed with info.
You'll find the icons essential, as you determine which publishers pay, which are new additions to the guide, which are open to newer writers, etc.
Also, if you are looking to get into the religious market, Poet's Market is just a start. It is decent, but only covers the largest publishers. You are should also buy Sally Stuart's "Christian Writer's Market Guide," a very similarly structured book, the definitive guide for Christian writers.
I fully recommend this book.
