joke among writers that the two ways work can get into a publication &#8211;
submission &amp; solicitation &#8211; entail terms whose sexual connotations are (a)
unmistakable &amp; (b) not necessarily representative of free play &amp;
mutuality. The problem with the joke is that it isn&#8217;t funny. The power
imbalance between publisher &amp; the would-be-published remains absolute &amp;

amend Croggon&#8217;s plahn ever so slightly to postmodernists (or, more accurately,

for one appearance by Denise Riley &#8211; albeit there are some Gaelic names there
whose work (&amp; gender) I do not recognize. So while Bunting pops up more
than once in the table of contents, names such as Raworth or Prynne or Oliver

where my impatience with the aesthetic passivity of younger post-avant writers
&amp;, in this case, editors just starts to boil over. In 2003, with literally
hundreds of interesting &amp; accomplished post-avant poets of all stripes

style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>any </i>&#8211; rely on submissions to shape what
it will publish?? It&#8217;s one thing to accept interesting work that does show up
when &amp; as it does, but quite another to depend on it to create your own
editorial statement. A journal that hasn&#8217;t gone out &amp; actively solicited a
good portion &#8211; 75 percent or more &#8211; of what appears in its pages can hardly
speak of having an &#8220;aesthetic vision&#8221; beyond opening the mail.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><tt><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Yesterday,
Dan Featherston commented on his concern about the &#8220;balkanization&#8221; of
post-avant poetics. From my perspective, that could/would occur only if &amp;
when different tendencies refuse to seriously consider one another &#8211; it doesn&#8217;t
necessarily mean that they also need to <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>publish
one another</i>, although there will always be interesting possibilities to
pick up on writers who demonstrate cross-tendency characteristics. I frankly
don&#8217;t see balkanization as a danger today nearly so much as I do atomization,
hundreds of small press rags publishing good, even great writing will become
indistinguishable if they don&#8217;t set &#8211; and fulfill &#8211; readers&#8217; expectations
through some mode of aesthetic consistency. That&#8217;s why, with all its design
flaws, the crumpled issue* of <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>House Organ</i>

of view. </span></tt></p>

with that report. Few if any women sent work unsolicited for possible
publication even though my first single-author issue back in 1971 was devoted
to the work of Rae Armantrout. At one level, I suspect that women &#8211; perhaps
especially at this moment in history &#8211; may just be more sensitive to the
implications of the power relationships of editing &amp; publication, and may
find them more obnoxious, than do men. That has to do with one&#8217;s experience of
power &amp; the other experiences to which one might relate it. But even more
so, the experience I see that &#8220;jibes&#8221; with what Annie finds is that far too
many journals, by ducking the hard aesthetic questions (i.e., <i
style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>who are you &amp; what are you about?</i>),
end up creating the very problems of representation that they then bemoan.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
