		<title>Open Letter to the Poetry Foundation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Poetry Foundation and/or Christian Wiman:
Does this count as an open letter, if I never actually send it to you?  I probably won&#8217;t, which means you&#8217;ll probably never read this &#8212; but that&#8217;s fine.  If you read this you might reply, and then I&#8217;d have to think about replying to your reply.  I&#8217;m not the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Falafel Salad Soup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back in the 1930s, magazines like the Yale Review or VQR saw maybe 500 submissions in a year; today, we receive more like 15,000. This is due partly to a shift in our culture from a society that believed in hierarchy to one that believes in a level playing field. This is good—to a point. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Horn Tootin&#8217; Online</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was thinking I should do a follow-up post to last week&#8217;s, looking at the traffic volumes for online journals, which the CLMP Directory also lists.  Because my main interest in these numbers stems from being a competitive bastard, I don&#8217;t care as much about online journals.  It&#8217;s not that we aren&#8217;t competing directly &#8212; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Horn-Tootin&#8217; With Numbers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few days ago, the updated CLMP Directory (that stands for Counsel of Literary Magazines and Presses) arrived in the mail.  Usually when these come, I just set them aside, on the chance that I want to contact some other editor, although I never use it, because what modern editor doesn&#8217;t have up-to-date contact [...]]]></description>

		<title>Program Note</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As you&#8217;ll see on the sidebar to the right, I&#8217;m hosting Lois P. Jones&#8217;s episodes of Poets Cafe, a half-hour bi-weekly radio show that interviews poets.  She interviewed me for the show last spring, and liked the way I archived mine online, so she asked if I&#8217;d store some others, and I thought, why [...]]]></description>

		<title>Papa Tim</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Megan&#8217;s halfway through a healthy pregnancy, and it&#8217;s a girl.  I&#8217;m not going to talk about it much, if at all, on here, because this isn&#8217;t a personal blog, it&#8217;s a personal literary blog, and there&#8217;s a big difference between the two.  If anyone actually cares what I have to say (and that&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ignorance as an Asset</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always had a mild disdain for the literary industry.  I&#8217;m not sure exactly where it comes from, but I can trace it as far back as my second semester of college, at which point I&#8217;d already realized that I preferred working with phonemes to working with phosphates, but was still resistant to declaring an [...]]]></description>

		<title>Funny on Paper</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As someone who isn&#8217;t very funny &#8212; I have a good sense of humor and laugh often, but lack the social skills to tell a good joke &#8212; I&#8217;m always amazed at how easy it is to be funny on stage (at least when the situation doesn&#8217;t demand it).  I was at a poetry reading [...]]]></description>

		<title>Audience Participation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every time I send out a mass email soliciting subscriptions &#8212; which is only twice a year at most &#8212; I receive a handful of responses similar to the following:
I could not help but be perplexed by an editor rejecting my work for their magazine and then pleading with me to take a subscription. It [...]]]></description>

		<title>In Praise of PondWater</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No post for over a month, but a good half-dozen have been kicking around in my head.  Just no time with the holidays and other good things.  But with the new year comes the calm of winter, our slowest season at Rattle, so maybe I&#8217;ll have time to catch up.
Two weeks ago I stubbed my [...]]]></description>
