The poetry scene is not interesting.
Poetry scene is ephemeral.
What is in a magazine or any set of magazines,
any particular month?
To soothe yourself, go back and read
the magazines of 40 years ago.
They probably have them in this building.
Read the poetry magazines of 20 years ago, a hundred years ago.
There's a wonderful-- Robert Garrick, the actor,
wrote a wonderful couplet--
quatrain.
He wrote this quatrain.
"The gentle reader loves the gentle muse
that little knows and little means,
but humbly sips its learning in reviews and flutters
in the magazines."

My suggestion is to read the magazines of the past
and to buy this book that Dolly Spalding has
and look at the videos.
