Hey folks, we all start out sending over the transom. The first two poems Alan Sullivan sent out were to Poetry and The Spectator. They were accepted. I only started publishing twelve years ago, but I've won the rodeo about three hundred times. First requirement, put your best foot forward. I think Poetry's two great victories in the last twenty years are their discoveries of Kay Ryan and Wendy Videlock. Go to their masthead and read Harriet Monroe's Mission Statement. 106 years later, they are still at it.
