If I were running the magazine, I wouldn't put the reprinting idea in the title. On reflection, it might even be hitting the thing to hard to create a section for reprints. The point would be to
* unapologetically acknowledge original publishers of poems we reprint
* leverage the openness to these poems to put together a better magazine than we could if we eliminated such poems from consideration
(Julie's link shows this isn't an entirely new idea.)
>if I were the editor, I wouldn't want to reprint everything. But half or less?
Far less than half. Quality (according to the editor(s)) would be the whole point.
