My previous experience with Lyn Lifshin was pretty much like yours,
James, when I edited Porch (print):  The monthly assault of Lyn
Lifshin poems, all of them rejected.

However, I did publish her in The Salt River Review.  We don't boast
about it but the poems are in the archives:

She just happened to send a batch in which I found a couple of solid
poems, IMHO.
