"Dearth" is a wonderful word. So much in there besides "death"

and "earth." There's "heart" and "art" and "heat" and "dear."

Oh, "dart" and "ear" as well. And I've probably forgotten

some.

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.
