Not only have I never held a copy of "Poetry", I only know something about the stuff they publish from this board and their online selections.
And that goes for ALL the mags discussed on this board. I can't afford subscriptions, and the local rural bookshops and libraries just laugh.
The thing is, I can't decide whether this is a disadvantage for my writing, or an advantage. It means I am not writing to "fit in" anywhere.
I suppose it's a moot point, since that's just the way it is.

Mark,
Me too. I also wonder that if I subscribed to it, which allowing for currency differences and postage, would cost a lot, would I start trying to please it. Would that matter? Would I be insincere or merely flexible. All this and more from a small place in Queensland whose local poetry society fills me with fear. Nay, horror!
