Here are some useful links for poets. The databases offer listings of places that publish poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. Other resources I've listed provide information about opportunities, grants, conferences, classes and literary events. The last links are specific to Minnesota poets. Check Poets & Writers and AWP if you live elsewhere.
Databases of Literary Magazines
Duotrope:
This database lists over 4000 markets for fiction, poetry, and nonfiction. Its features include a submission tracker and weekly email that let's you know what's new and what's no longer available. It's free, but they do ask for donations.

Poets & Writers:
The website features a database of literary magazines (over 700). Poets & Writers is a good resource for writers; it features articles about writers and writing, presses, and it also has useful information about deadlines for contests, calls for submissions, and writer's conferences.
