Paula Deitz just graciously accepted a submission, the poems on Michael Donaghy, Tony Hecht, and the Wilburs, all of which many Deep Enders helped me hammer into publishable form. Poems on poetry? No, they're really poems about dear friends, all remarkable poets. My thanks to all of you.

[Roger Slater]

Congratulations, Tim, on this unsurprising but wonderful news.

[Paul Lake]

Great news, Tim. Watching them go from first drafts to published poems in the Hudson was fun

[Tim Murphy]

Thank you Roger and Paul. I am often baffled by the Hudson Review's choices, not of my own, but of others' work. They have been exceptionally hospitable to me for nearly ten years. But why they're publishing stuff I dislike and sending rejection notices to Paul and Rhina completely baffles me. Well, don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

[Steven Schroeder]

Congratulations on the publication, Tim.

Tim:
This is more good news, and I hope it hurries the day when we'll be hearing about a new book on its way.
As for the caprice of editorial judgment, de gustibus and all that is one explanation. But, too, there's a familiarity factor. Once you've made it over the transom your stuff is more likely to go right to the person who has final say. Until then, it probably has to run the gauntlet of sub- and sub-sub editors. Eventually, with perseverence, our friends will pass the ordeal, as you did, and grace the pages, as you do.

Like Richard said. Warmest congratulations.

Congratulations, Tim. Richly deserved.

[Tim Murphy]

Richard, et alia. I'm going to start a discussion on publication over at the Lariat Board. We'll talk about getting in "over the transom," on networking, on employing mentors and whatever limited influence the outsider looking in has. In the last five years I've made many posts on these subjects, but I think it would be helpful to many to hear from Guest Lariats, from members who edit magazines, etc. And perhaps those of us who are comfortable in the print world can learn something about internet publication from the many younger members who are active in that realm.

[Jodie Reyes]

Congrats, Tim. Way to go.
