In my lost youth, my very first publication was in Poetry. None since then though.

  Well, Finnegan, over the years APR has published quite a ferw of my poems & Poetry has published exactly zero, so you could say I'm biased. I disagree about APR, though.

    To quibble, Joe, I wouldn't call any of that crew an 'eminence'. In the big circulation poetry
    mags of which there are only two, the APR rag is looking more tired these days. Poetry
    more full of spit and vinegar than I can ever remember it. Either it was Wiman's doing or the
    Lilly heiress' cash...but something's changed in Chicago other than the address of 
    their offices.
