Even if one simply presumes that the registration requirement at the <i

Google&#8217;s still beta news service, the <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>Philadelphia

So long as newspapers let advertising predispose their approach to editorial
content &#8211; there is no commercial newspaper I know of that doesn&#8217;t confront this
problem &#8211; the fact that trade publishers have budgets for advertising means
that their small press scene will be treated differently, even if trade
publishers&#8217; original content differs from presses such as Pressed Wafer or
Talisman mostly by being mediocre. Yet while the <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:Arial'>Even during the best of
times, poetry tends to fly below the radar of most news outlets for the simple
reason that it is, if not absolutely non-economic activity, economically
trivial in terms of the larger society. Print publications &#8211; and the vast
majority of these news sites are merely the web face of traditional print media
&#8211; tend thus to look at poetry primarily as human interest filler unless

something not so terribly far from the mythic journalistic standard &#8211; observed
universally only in its breach &#8211; of, if not objectivity, at least neutrality.
If, as August Highland&#8217;s Muse Apprentice Guild&#8217;s <a
href="http://www.muse-apprentice-guild.com/winter_2003/the_writers.html">467
contributors</a> to its winter 2003 issue suggests &#8211; given that it just
scratches the surface of the scene &#8211; the post-avant literary scene in the U.S.
has grown to such proportions, isn&#8217;t it reasonable to expect more out of a
collection of 71 items than one piece on Stephen Ratcliffe, another on Ian
Hamilton Finlay, a couple of tidbits on Amiri Baraka&#8217;s job as New Jersey Poet
Laureate &amp; an obit for Ted <span class=SpellE>Joans</span>? And isn&#8217;t it
almost incumbent upon the folks at Poetry Daily to do a far better job at
representing the scene news-wise? Including one post-avant poet every other
week among their poems simply doesn&#8217;t cut it. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
