I sometimes like to tinker with poems that have failed, ones that I have sent aside. Even years afterward, I will revisit them if there is something about them that I cannot give up on.
From John Barton
The poet must decide not to impose his feelings in order to write without sentimentality.
A literary journal is intended to connect writer with reader; the role of the editor is to mediate.
I find it exhausting to administer a magazine without an office or paid staff.
I feel very connected to poets across the country.
The community of poets I belong to is not as close as it used to be, if only for the fact that our lives have become busier: jobs, children, and the like.
