How are you?<BR/><BR/>Joyce -- I have to assume that being a non-academic doesn't disadvantage you, but I'm probably just whistling into the wind. I never attended or taught in one of those programs either. There are plenty of poets I read and admire who also didn't. And plenty who did. Certainly they have the numbers. But I always admire rugged independents!<BR/><BR/>Karen -- Isotope is a good magazine, though I haven't yet had luck with them. Their response time is a little long, but I like what I see of them. Thanks for the idea.<BR/><BR/>It would be cool to assemble a list of such zines and journals, wouldn't it?Rachel Dacushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15754712503067644226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9144957.post-63232593400140232192008-04-21T17:23:00.000-07:002008-04-21T17:23:00.000-07:00Dearest Rachel,When I was at Pacific U, their jour...Dearest Rachel,<BR/>When I was at Pacific U, their journal Silk Road, which I briefly worked for, was supposed to be focused on place. I think they would dig your work.

Those who are not connected are not clued in to the current fashion - not that the current fashion is bad or sad or mad, but just that the disconnection is revealed by the poem. I know this comment is off your focus, but it sprang to mind when I read your Ap. 17th blog. <BR/>I sometimes feel really "out of it" since I never attended any Creative Writing Program, never made any in-house contacts, never scorned formal verse, and never was emotionally conditioned by a certain curriculum. <BR/>Just some thoughts.<BR/><BR/>JoyceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9144957.post-85483407395207029612008-04-18T17:19:00.000-07:002008-04-18T17:19:00.000-07:00Ecotone is one of my favorite journals too.

I also like Isotope: A Journal of Literary Nature and Science Writing from Utah State and Fourth River, a journal published by the MFA faculty and students at Chatham University in Pittsburgh.Karen J.
