[New-Poetry] Influential Publications?

[TheOldMole]

A journal, online or other, can fold and still leave a legacy of significance. I don't think that Able Muse's influence went beyond the formalists, any more than Fence went beyond Language, but it too had a sphere of influence that mattered.

What about Jacket?

    I'd say the online places are getting more readers, and are perhaps more influential. Poetry Daily would be the first I'd single out, and in a sense, Poetry Daily "broke" Billy Collins as a national phenomenon. I think Cortland Review is pretty significant. Able Muse, as I suggested before
  Ah, but AbleMuse went belly-up in 2002.  Admittedly, it ran some pretty good poetry, but it exists no longer except in the minds and hearts of a few Eratosphere die-hards, and unless you're a formalist, or fond of formal poetry, even Eratospherians are far more infatuated with themselves than anyone else might be.

  I can say that, because I'm a die-hard Eratospherian.  :)

  Lo
