Not a great salary as one might expect, but a relatively tiny sum.
The salary has varied, but traditionally includes some alcohol. Ben Jonson first received a pension of 100 marks, and later an annual barrel of wine. Dryden had a pension of £300 and a butt of Canary wine. Pye received £27 instead of the wine. Tennyson drew £72 a year from the Lord Chamberlain's department, and £27 from the Lord Steward's instead of the barrel of wine. The first payment was a mere £200... plus the wine of course.
Coming up to date:
I understand that Andrew Motion has not yet received his just reward, but Carol Ann Duffy is due £5,760 per year... plus 650 bottles of Oloroso sherry, which I guess must be the modern equivalent of the "butt of sack".

∙ 11y agoMany small press poetry magazines will publish good, appropriate poems without it costing you anything. You just have to submit poetry that fits with their criteria. Small press publishers rely on people buying their publications so they can keep going. There are many competitions that will publish poetry submitted. It will cost you the entry fee which may vary widely. Otherwise, to be recognised by the mainstream publishing houses you need to get your name out there a lot. Winners of large competitions can sometimes be asked to produce material for anthologies. If you are thinking of self-pubIshing, the various options will cost differing amounts and you should do a search for, and talk to, printers who can turn out decent copies in the style that you wish.

Unless they sell publish and sell their poetry, no they will not get paid. Most people do it as a hobby for the beauty of it and a way to express themselves. So it is like will you get paid for drawing something in art class or in your free time..

∙ 11y agoThat all depends on how many poems he puts out monthly. It also has to do with royalties that he may receive certain months if his poem were to end up in a large poetry book.
So in other words, don't become a poet.
