in quest to get my work (poems) published in went in search of publishers and i stumbled into one: The NewGong. They said there are publishers so i communicated with them and i was asked to send my best work for anthology before i could be considered for publication. This i dd, i sent my very best work. It is more than 6months now and i have not heard anything from them, allĀ  effort to communicate with them has not yeilded any fruit as they do no longer reply my e mails,

You live in Lagos; they live in Lagos. Why not just visit them?  By the way, poetry isn't lucrative.
If you want to make money from your poems, meet a composer to turn the poem into a song.
You can sell your song to a performer with the perfect voice, TV shows needing theme songs,etc.
Why am I saying this?  Because if they are not making money, they can't give you money. Wink
