godream"Leaving the Ocean" got into the lit magazine. Yay!
Strange, these me-versus-the-rest-of-the-staff feelings I get from submitting poetry. Deep seated anger and all that good stuff. Or something. I have to go catch my ride now to go to work, so there will be no constructivity or even sanity in this entry. By now this should be no surprise.
Question: is it appropriate to push for one's own work in meetings deliberating upon it? I feel like if the poem can't stand without me holding it up and explaining it maybe it shouldn't be in -- but on the other hand I feel like they were missing obvious parts of what meaning there was. I mean, it got in and the point is moot... but for future reference... Possible further contemplation on this later. *runs off*
