In Praise of Journals that Publish Poetry and their Editors


"In a country that highlights Capitalism wherever it can, poetry journals have become a peaceful protest against money first. 

The majority of literary journals in this country(and other countries even more so) are done on a lima bean budget. The editors I know devote late night hours each week to reading, editing, corresponding, fact checking and producing attractive magazines --- with no ad money.
 

In other words: editors are good people. They believe in the radical notion that poetry matters."
