Anonymous
I would like to see a poetry magazine that accepts only anonymous submissions.
If writers wanted to identify themselves after publication, the magazine could identify the writers in subsequent issues, but only after editors (and readers, if the stuff is accepted) have had time to decide for themselves what they think of the work.
Writers could use free email addresses to submit their stuff and correspond anonymously with the editors, and possibly to reveal their identities later. The anonymous address could be published with the poetry (as a placeholder for a name and as a way for readers to contact writers).
The editors could also remain anonymous, but that's a different deal. You could have anonymous writers, anonymous editors, anonymous commentary, or any combination.
Is there such a place on the net?
-------------------
Later: Ivy tells me about ANON and Anon. Hmm.
-------------------
And Chris tells me another thing I should have known: "Badgurrrlnest is anon in works both poetic and editorial." (Though is that only for anonymous bad grrls? Or can, say, anonymous good boyz also contribute?)

You can skip to the end and leave a response.
At 1:18 PM,There's Anon: http://www.blanko.org.uk/anon/, though it's for written submissions.
And there's Anon.: http://www.anon.be/home.html, which probably more closely resembles what you're after. Though I don't know if it's still going, or what.
At 1:23 PM,
Ah. You're a much better researcher than I am, Ivy. Thanks.

Anon by Anon: They're not bustin' loose the globe or anything, but Badgurrrlnest is anon in works both poetic and editorial. On checking over there I see they've been on a spree away from it all but are due back, this week, apparently.
At 10:11 AM,
Oh, hey, as I understand it, anyone feeling particularly baaaad can contribute a la anon--thanks, Malcolm :)
