I have written a book that is loosely based off of a poem I once wrote. I would like the poem to appear at the beginning of the book before the first chapter begins as it has become relevant to the story.
My question is... is it appropriate to include the poem in the manuscript that I send for publication?
Please be as detailed as possible, listing the why or why not and any references that would lead me to find your answer to be credible. Thank you.
