dumbfoundry

Poetry news, poetry blogs, poetry magazines, poetry journals, poetry sites, poetry links, etc.

The Writer:
"...by the time the weekend was over, not one of us nine had passed the 'manuscript is ready' threshold.

Ivy, I really enjoyed this blog post. Thank you for linking to it. I've been talking a lot with poet folks re: what is tight, publication quality work versus gimmick and other detractors. So thanks again.
