[New-Poetry] D prize and who are these folks

[Bob Grumman]

Hi Robin,


  Thanks for this response. I hear you on most everything. However, when I talk about putting work on the web, I am not talking about blogging. You can blog or not, who cares. What I am asking is why they do not publish in journals that put some of the work on the web. You get into a mag, say, Harvard Review, and even if they do not post your poem/story, they will list you in the table of contents. Plenty of novelists publish in all sorts of places on the web. Plenty of great web only journals. Really though, how is it that most (thanks for the link) of these folks have stayed so clear of the Internet? What is wrong with letting people get a little taste of you for free? How can you be 28 and above that? 
  I don't know anything at all about the people on this short list (except the one whose Iowa plaintext lyrical poem was posted here) but my guess is they're all completely career-laners, and most career-laners know little or nothing about the Internet.  They publish where their professors publish--and where award-bestowers and their screeners only go to find poets to give money to.

  Bob G.
