Thanks, Gail, IH used not to take email submissions, there was not even any email address to be found. I know there is a new editor and maybe things have changed now.

IRCs are phased out here too. That is why I have to hoard my stamps.

[John Whitworth]

The editor of The Interpreter's House is Simon Curtis, a most excellent man and poet, a man of integrity and worth. I suspect him of sound conservative principles, though I doubt if they go as far as endorsing Senator Romney. I think Janice, that if you included your email address, you would have no need to dig into your hoard of English stamps. You would lose the copies of your poems of course, but that wouldn't matter much. I follow this procedure when I submit to foreign magazines.

Thank you, John, I'll give it a try again. The former editor said explicitly that she didn't respond to email. Some journals both US and UK don't want to do business by electronics, they won't even respond to a query about submitting via email from abroad. But there is no dearth of those who will so I just go merrifly to the next.

For the record, Romney has never been a senator, he is a former governor. Of Massachusetts, no less, traditional Kennedy turf.

Scusi, Gail, for rudely using your thread.

[John Whitworth]

Sorry. Senator, Governor, same syllabic values. Aren't Presidents usually ex-Governors? One for Romney then.I wanted a President Arnie opposite a Prime Minister Boris. That would have been fun.
Or a President Boris (he is eligible) opposite a Prime Minister Arnie (anybody is eligible).

I look forward to a reunion of Spherians at IH. I first encountered Simon when he was editing The Hardy Journal. As John said, he is a very fine poet and critic; and I'm delighted to have four poems in such distinguished company.

My copy came yesterday. Very handsome full-bound little journal. The "W" section is particularly good, with Waterman, White, and Whitworth back to back. Tim Love joins us too. Take a tour of the High Plains in the "M" section.
