Onward, Gail.

I didn't mean to criticize Gail for publishing there, but I don't quite agree with your reasoning. After all, in some circles you could imagine someone saying that the folks at Chronicles are nuts, only to be told, "How bad can they be? People like Gail White publish there." To say that one does't support a magazine by publishing one's work in it strikes me as taking a very narrow view of the word "support."
But as someone who published in First Things, I understand that publishing a poem is not the same as endorsing the editor's political or theological views. I only brought it up after Mary mentioned that Gail is also in Lavender Review, which seemed too fine an irony not to mention.
