I need some more poems.  
Send them to me.  
I won't name names this time.  
It did work--I got poems from people I named.  
But it felt a little weird. For me and for you.   
If I asked you for poems before, and you haven't sent them to me, you can still send them to me.  
It's a good time, because I haven't been getting anything this week.  
When this (The Duplications)  becomes a famous journal, it will be harder to get into it.  I will accept .0001%.  Right now it is relatively easy.  I can accept 50% and come up with four or five good poems a week.  The best five I've published so far could be in the BAP next year.  I won't tell you which five though. I'd like to award a prize to the best poem of the month not written by my daughter.  You can put that on your c.v.  The Duplications prize.  However, I probably won't, on the "no good deed goes unpunished" principle.

You have that right. "No good deed goes unpunished." Absofuckinglutely right!
I'm moving Julia's poem about ice-cream to the top so people won't be scared away by Jim's poem.
