"THAT WHICH DOES NOT KILL US
JUST TENDS TO GET ON OUR NERVES"
(Brian E. Bengtson stealing from someone else.)
Oood afternoon. my weehnle belrmof me1cr
and SIID1Jll I probably should reopcnd to lasl
month's disagn,emcn\ between myself and my
editor (but I do want 10 lhank Sharon ror the
dramatic;..,,_ in my rcadctsbtp thanl<s lo her
direcuons on the front page!!) Sharon even
olTOffd lo give me one of bet own poems and
permission 10 tear it 10 pieces as a method of
atcoc111C111 and allOlogy. What 1lhint ii Ill boiled
d<,,,'1) 10 was a !act o(comrmmicaU<lmon my pan.
Let me break this Ill down:
I.) I am • poet (I know. I know. " Dl/Hr').
and that meam I wrilt poetry and hope lha1
someone will publlsb ii. mayt,e give me a boot
deal, I will get r,._, and gel 10 be oo \al_k
si-·s.
2) When I pocmsoot toolhern111gazincs.
I usually menlioned my past publishiag cn,dits,
and the face that I edited a poeuy soctioo of my
own (and maybe Ibey will be oo imp,asod with
this tbal they will pn.o1 my poetry.)
3 .) Some editors cbect olll • potcooal
submitters CR:dits (like"°""" employers chock
oot a rtswne) to see if lhoy ar• 1rue. When""
editor loots al my ()18", chances an: mon, than

manllOCript. as long as the author pays for all the
cxpcmes. bl& I am splilllng baits) and ..;u think
that I have lOO hu,c an ego for them IOpublisb me.
4.) Moot poets really don't "mate it" unlil
Ibey arc dead (which means we ttnd 10 try ID aet
oor work out as much as possible while we are
if mo,,: pcope have lbe
still alive.);
