With over 4000 entries and 19 columns, this is a more extensive and more up to date list of poetry publications than found here: https://zumpoems.com/poetry-publications/. Note that this was generated by Gemini Pro 2.5 and there are some errors. I have been correcting such errors when I find them. Of the over 4000 entries here, about 300 of the publications accept poems previously posted on personal blogs. Because of the number of columns (19), I highly suggest that you cut and paste this into a spreadsheet — just highlight everything inside the table below and cut and paste! (It’s probably quicker if you just do a Control A to highlight entire page, paste that into your spreadsheet, and remove any unwanted rows of text.) There is also a version of this as a Open Office Spreadsheet, which has more columns and may or may not be more recent than this version on Google Docs here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YjNdGZaiz_w5y-FwRWonP8EdTQYFDnqxCGaGD5Gc8bQ/edit?usp=sharing
