And you never know - there are still readers out there who don't have computers, who might find your work through a print mag...some print journals that seem tolerant of those weird "not experimental/not mainstream" writers (I include myself in that group, by the way) are Beloit Poetry Journal, Rhino, Diner, Rattle, 14 Hills, Columbia Poetry Journal...and most of those guys respond pretty fast too...anyway, hope all this unasked-for-advice is helpful!Jeanninehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16419593830749483323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11262289.post-73959157159372512622007-02-14T20:39:00.000-08:002007-02-14T20:39:00.000-08:00'Seriously, I stopped submitting to the New Yorker...'Seriously, I stopped submitting to the New Yorker and the Atlantic Monthly around the time I realized there were more ads for luxury cars in both than there were poems.'<BR/><BR/>Apt point. I tend to hate New Yorker poetry.<BR/><BR/>In my experience,though, 'Ploughshares' is actually surprisingly fresh, edgy, and eclectic for a big name print lit. mag.--and I subscribed for several years. Maybe the variety was due to the policy of revolving guest editors.<BR/><BR/>I like reading other poets' perspectives on submissions and such.<BR/><BR/>I have quite a bit of work out there now, too--and lately, I've received several responses that were not rejections OR acceptances per se, which is kind of weird...<BR/><BR/>Ok, I'll stop rambling.<BR/><BR/>Happy Valentine's Day.Juliet Blood Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14594078209182239805noreply@blogger.com
