The Publishing of Poetry [UK]:
I'm not altogether sure how it works in the Art world but I've an artist friend who has exhibited his paintings all over London. He'd be completely baffled (he was, because I asked him) if he'd been told that no other Gallery would hang his work as he'd already shown it somewhere else. Or a photograph published in one magazine and never accepted elsewhere. How about music? Would a composer accept the fact that because the CBSO has played his work then no other orchestra would play it? Or a pop tune - played once on Radio Cumbria never to be played on Radio One.

I so agree. The submissions game relegates poetry to the land of disposable thought. Doesn't our work deserve as much exposure as possible? The whole point of writing is to communicate and how is that possible when our best pieces sit on someone's desk/computer for months? I'm new to blogging, but arrived here because I want to be FREE!
