I see you displaying the prime cuts of poetry. / The first picked lines prior to the sun’s / scorch or Eli Whitney’s treacherous / contraption. I see you with the filleted / pantoums hanging in the window, but poetry is / much more than that.

@StanchionZine It definitely matters - I’ve just begun my magazine and looking to bigger, more established literary journals like yours has been crucial in inspiring me and making me see that growth and finding my audience is possible. Big fish help little fish, and we all make ripples.
