There’s a specific moment in my work – four lines from a specific poem, actually – which define a break for me. Most of my work up to that point has a certain feel and tone, most after is decidedly different. Though all have merit, I would have trouble allowing any of the “before” poems to mingle with the “after” poems in one collection; the voices are too different. If you seriously want more eyes cast upon the surface of your manuscript and trust an engineer to do the job, sign me up.

TRaSh-80s, huh? Takes me back to the days of sneaking into the computer lab in high school so we could try out our new Pascal routines (only seniors were supposed to be allowed). No, really. The 80s replaced our PDP-11 terminals. Did you have the 0.8k, 1.2 pound TRS-80 pocket computer, too? I loved that machine; still have it, too. Ah, the glory days….

Jeannine! Your poetry rocks, and you’ve been published quite a bit! Just like at your own poetry page! Resist the urge not to send out, and fight back like the superheroine you are!

RE: I can see how some people (that person in the latest issue of Poetry Magazine, for one) can think lots of negative stuff about poet bloggers

I have Poetry, the newest issue. What did I miss? So much for my thoughtful reading!
