From time to time I get another publication to submit its name to the World Class Poetry Publications list. The latest of these is Lilluput Review.
I have been letting publications submit themselves to the list rather than go out and actively recruit them, but this is a list I’d like to grow faster. What do you think? Should I be more aggressive in growing this list or keep it the way it is and let publications submit themselves without any prompting?

Let the publications submit themselves to the poets for a change. The world has changed so much, there are far too many journals and appearing in most of them does nothing at all for the poet. Anyone egotistical enough to want to be an ‘editor’ can grab a URL and create a journal. When they are submitting themselves you could also ask them for a short sentence on why a poet should want to be in their journal. How many people read it? Who else has been it? That kind of thing. Time for the poets to take back ownership of poetry and time for ‘editors’ to acknowledge that as a result of the internet, the balance of power has shifted.
Pauls last blog post..just before the blue dressing gown
My blog is on one the tours sponsosed by Women on Writing and it occurred to me that because I have a poetry corner in my newsletter (subscribe by sending an e-mail to hojonews @ AOL )we could work together. I also just started a poetry group at iFOGOvillage.ning.com at the request of founder Gene Cartwright.
If you’d like to do a little cross promotion, please let me know.
Best,

Don Wentworth’s Lilliput Review so deserves this honor – thank you.
Ayaz. You’re welcome. I agree, Lilliput Review deserves it as well as any. Thanks for commenting.
