[New-Poetry] sells out

[David Baratier]

you all had a similar thread on blurbing just recently, thought someone might have something for me for this

  ------------ ---------
   
  I am working on the forward for the next issue, Pavement Saw 11, the sell out issue, and was wondering if any of you had statements you have used, or that others have said to you, that are terribly blunt about how bad someones poems are.
   
  This all stems from a recent conference where I was talking with this lady who tried to confer upon me a copy of a book called _Toxic Feedback_ for gratis, which I only agreed to take if it was inscribed "to the most magnificent editor in the United States ." Anyways, I was very disappointed when I started reading it at home as does not offer usable toxic feedback but rather advocates against the notion. A pity.
   
  Please backchannel nasty feedback of literary value, I can mention your name in the forward if it is a good one, or you can be anonymous it is up to you. What I cannot do is give you a free issue as the issues are accounted for and disappear within a year. 


Be well
