[New-Poetry] Calling Dr. Giggles

[jforjames at aol.com]

Tad,
I'm afraid dearth is one my words. A word that I like to think?has?wedded death to earth. 

Anyway, David Graham knows the whole story. I think he wrote a letter to her (I think
her name is Emily, you could check the masthead) citing a number of contemporary
poets who were no strangers to the comic. I'm sure she was probably right 
if the measurement was a random sampling of her slush pile.

If he uses words like "dearth," no wonder he doesn't get much funny stuff.?
