Publishing the poetry of Tim and others in The Chimaera, SCR and The Flea, costs me money, hundreds of dollars a year, as well as long hours of work by me, the SCR crew, and Peter Bloxsom. None of this is tax-deductible, and none of it earns me, the editors or the poets a cent. On the other hand I hope it enhances the poets' reputations and perhaps helps to lead eventually to increased paying publications elsewhere for them. The alternative to free publication is to charge for access to the zines, as with PNR, but I doubt many would subscribe to this. If all web zines charged for access people simply would not read the work. Ultimately it is a labour of love, as Janice says: I do it for love of the Muse, because I want to further the cause of poetry. But it cannot possibly be done without poets donating their work, for I cannot pay for poems -- unless I win Lotto.
