[New-Poetry] Po Biz gets ugly

[jforjames at aol.com]

I wonder if this incident isn't in part related to the whole?'contest-press publishing phenomenon'.
I think the poet in question?would have done as well with her book subsidizing/self-publishing it.
How much of bump' or push does a book get by being published by Cider Press or any of the many
other contest presses?

What I find suspicious is her blog entry of Sunday, August 24, 2008: "I had every intention of starting a blog once my poetry collection was taken." ?Does that mean blog for purposes of promotion, the way folks start a page on Facebook to promote their latest book?



Google her and read some poems, o.k.? ?THEN tell me what you thing of this whole pizzazz.
