the craft of poetry

[Leanne]

"once upon a time, newspapers regularly printed poems, as well as popular magazines. " = AGREED. I think it's sad this doesn't happen often anymore. There are a few publications (The New Yorker, etc) who still print poems, but I find most of them ghastly as well as what I've read from supposedly "academic" tomes.

Aaargh! Most of the poems published in The New Yorker are generic pulp poetasting bullshit -- and that's just the best ones. Able Muse, qarrtsiluni, soundzine and a few other online publications occasionally publish some daring, innovative work but sadly, most good print journals fell victim to the financial crisis as they were always working on very slim to nonexistent margins.
