Submitting

I discovered a new aide when submitting poetry, duotrope's digest, which came to me as a double-submitted to Rattle (please don't tell them, as they don't seem to have noticed). It's unleashed (for now) a torrent of poetic submissions on my part. Happy Day!! Anna Evans' very helpful essay on the sonnet also came into view. I recommend them both heartily.

I did sort of let loose on one rather control freaky editor. Doing so in my cover letter might be considered somewhat self-destructive, like when I sent a screenplay to Sundance with a note about how Robert Redford's hair hadn't changed position since '63. But it was heartfelt, my comments, and I can't really know if it works best for her to tell everyone so explicitly how to be a proper poet.
