How does one pick an image for a book of poetry?
Keep in mind that poetry books are judged by their covers and often the purchase of a collection of poems is an impulse buy. What will make a buyer reach for your book of poetry?
These elements can help:
—Color or dramatic black and white contrast
—Novelty
—Something that speaks to a basic need or yearning
Next: what is the thematic core of this collection? How does your image speak to the title and overriding theme of this collection?
Don't forget to try out your image on trusted advisors.
