Laughably, shamefully, when I didn't know what I was doing, had no guidance, no poet friends, no Sphere, I found it on Duotrope and sent a poem off to this site without actually looking at it.

And it got published.

I figured the journal would fade to obscurity and close or I could just ignore the poem because who goes to that site (and it wasn't a good poem--it reimagined the Chuangzi dream question in bad iambics and awkward rhymes...), and then the inauguration poem hoax happened. Which was funny and all, but really brought home how dumb that decision was.

I learned from this that you really need to vet the places you send your poetry to rather than merely wanting a pub.

Lesson learned, but woof.
