someone at tier3 has thoughts about poets rather than poems.

the premise -- that journals should publish more poems by fewer poets -- is one that i agree with. i like to publish longer selections in sawbuck (i ask for 6+ poems on the submission page), but it can be difficult, since many fine poets seem to resist sending out long submissions. the result, of course, is that i have published single poems by an author, but only when i felt that the poem really amplified the other work in that issue.

now onto submissions
