I don't imagine that the editors who provide showcases for our work are getting rich by doing so. I feel, and have always felt, that editing a poetry magazine whether online or in print is a labor of love, just like providers of poetry boards and organizers of soup kitchens and bird-watching outings.
I'm sure they too have dogs and parakeets to feed and bread and ammunition to buy--or something. Don't nobody quit your day job, unless you have been appointed to a paid lifetime post as OFFICIAL POET of SOMETHING or won the Nobel.
As Tiny Tim nearly said, "God bless us everyone, and especially unselfish editors of poetry magazines."
