Michael Shepherd - Ignore the ad above this poem

2014-11-07 1 Dailymotion

I deeply resent <br />the ad above this poem <br />(well it was there <br />last time I looked) <br />for Carcanet Press <br />as if we were chums <br />them and I <br />far from it <br />not only am I <br />not published by them <br />in case you thought I was <br /> <br />but <br /> <br />they don't even answer my emails <br />offering them my poetry <br />at 100% off <br /> <br />and their <br />selecting editor <br />is quoted as saying that <br />'amateur' poets should <br />be wiped out <br />so much for <br />love of poetry <br /> <br />I guess courtesy <br />isn't award-winning <br />these days <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />(dammit, it's a different ad this time...)<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ignore-the-ad-above-this-poem/
