Helpful Information
1. I usually read submissions on Mondays.
2. I rarely publish poems with tabbed spaces because it is very difficult to format properly with html.
3. I look at line breaks and enjambment very closely. If a line ends in an article or preposition, I am likely to pass on the poem. Line breaks should be intentional, not accidental.
4. My favorite form is the sonnet. I rarely publish experimental sonnets (lacking rhyme or meter). My other favorite type of poem is free verse.
5. Prose poems do not have line breaks.
6. I look at grammar and spelling very closely (typos are no big deal-they happen to all of us). I am likely to pass on a poem that has more than one of these errors.
