Whenever I go to a bookstore, they either do not have any poetry books at all, or only a very small selection of classics shelved alongside Homer and Shakespeare. When you search "market for poetry" in your favourite search engine, you'll find a couple of webpages that list venues that pay for short poems, mostly periodicals such as _Christian Science Monitor_ or _Slice_. You'll have to research them. But none of these publish epic poetry. Your best approach would be a two-step strategy: - Find the publishers that publish contemporary poetry (your format) or fantasy (your content) and submit. Maybe one of them will be interested. - If none of them want your work, self-publish. Be prepared for a tremendous marketing effort or be conent with a handful of readers.
