Public Readings: Even at AWP, you can still find people reading terrible sex poetry at a bar.
You DO Need a Weatherman: I found the winter storm I’d been missing all winter.

I do love that dance.
Oh, the rejection letter conversations.
How did I miss the bad sex poetry? I’m always down for bad sex poetry.

Why… why would you start a new lit mag and rely on submissions for the first issue? That seems so risky.
