The following announcement appeared on The Accomplished Members a few days ago.

Gk for God's love for man, or man's love for God and humankind. I sent it to Christian Wiman, and he accepted it by return mail. So I'm two for two with Christian, and I like that in an editor. It was too gay for Jody and too Catholic for Mary's new venue, but I guess it's just right for Poetry. Thanks to all of you who urged me to end with John Paul's Te Dominus Amat, and lose my own couplet.

I'm wondering if this means Poetry Magazine has lifted it's refusal to accept poetry which has appeared in any venue on The Internet or if we were wrong in these two recent threads
http://www.ablemuse.com/erato/ubbhtm...ML/002670.html
and http://www.ablemuse.com/erato/ubbhtm...ML/002671.html

about what their guideline regarding "appeared online" and "anywhere, in any form" really meant.

We cannot consider anything that has been previously published or accepted for publication, anywhere, in any form. Work that has appeared online is considered to have been previously published and should not be submitted.

Anyone have a clue?
