[New-Poetry] Big Bucks and Income from Sales of Plath's Work

[e·ratio]

And, really, this income is keeping Frieda in paints and Burberry.  But I
don't think Plath is a good example (-- I think Plath's fame rests on her
suicide).  Anyway, what I'm wondering is: Is there really any "peer
review" in poetry?  Just exactly what are the qualifications?  And if
you're an English Prof, and a poet, your "publish or perish" thing relies
not on publishing your poetry (right? cough) but on your scholarship (? --
right eyebrow goes up).  (I am reminded of that ancient "peer review"
system of political poetry known as to cold-shoulder the other from your
group -- "peer review" indeed.)

(I am reminded of der fall James Joyce.  I am crying.)
