| | What is something you feel you can do better than anyone else?Well, I have an answer, but it is past tense, not present tense. I used to feel that I could publish my poems "better" ( as in more frequently, more prominently, more successfully) than virtually anyone else in the world!!! And to be honest, I proved it. For decades, I wrote daily, and I submitted poems daily, often to a good 10 magazines a day. For years. And I was wildly successful, in many ways. Not New Yorker successful, but good, solid literary journal successful. Over the years, my poems (as well as short fiction, essays, and academic papers) have appeared in literally hundreds of journals, in 26 countries and five languages! That's a pretty good track record, IMO. On top of that, during a 16 year period, I had 15 poetry collections published, and that's not too shabby either, IMO. Some sold well and went through multiple printings while others fizzled out, but that's the nature of the game. Among the literary journals my work has appeared in are The Minnesota Review, Wisconsin Review, Pacific Review, Hawaii Review, Poetry Ireland Review, Chiron Review, Lullwater Review, Arkansas Review, Asheville Poetry Review, and Southern Review. Those are just a few of the print journals my work has appeared in. I've also had a ton of stuff published online as well. I won't list those publications here though. I already feel guilty for tooting my own horn too much. But, hey, that was the featured question, and I answered it, so there you are....
I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too! |
