Lovely. And such original thinking to go along with it.

Are you writing better stuff these days or just odes to GW?

No Z is on a business trip, but not really. She is acting as a middle man (or woman in this case) on a huge opium deal that is going down on the mean streets of south Savannah. I am meeting her for lunch tomorrow in Atlanta. Then we are going to get a room and fuck away the afternoon. I cannot wait. GW was recently kicked out of the country and is living on a small Island off the coast of Ecuador with a gimpy beach boy. As far as Z goes, if she cared at all she would find and Internet café and utilize the advantages 1) of the community gathering, especially listening to young Swedish girls clamoring in their hard boiled language about the weather outside of Amsterdam and 2) utilize modems that actually work.

Awwwwwwwwwllllllllllll. Better hit the spank bank until then, eh? As far as the poem goes, for all of the underlying meaning to the intended, the first part sets up a great image and the slowly the poem falls apart as you leave that image and go a meandering. Puppy love will do that sort of thing to a poet. Especially a Canadian poet.

I do believe NFG (if you read what they are about) is: 1) not an Internet magazine and 2) a collaborative editorial group. So not only were you turned down by Ms Peabody, but also numerous others that had a look at your work. And by your reaction it lead or leads me to believe that this is the first experience you have ad with submitting literary work for acceptance and had the unfortunate response of a rejection. Worse yet, possibly a one line rejection. As far as the other babble, really, I do not have the time for it. I do not recall what or what I have not said to you, but I am sure it was quite rude, unpleasant and only in the context of what we were discussing at the time. Think what you want about my work and my character. It is quite pleasing. But do not bring Z into this, she is quite a dedicated writer and works hard at establishing herself and building a literary magazine. GW is about in the same league as you when it comes to writing, and I cannot vouch for you friend Ms Peabody. But, do not let one rejection letter dismay you into long infantile rants. Just keep plugging away and maybe one day you to will have a bit of the success that others have worked hard to attain. Until then, good luck to you and your family.

I love your abrasive machismo approach. It truly fits well into a debate. No, the editor comment was not worth debating, although I did not change the subject. I kept to it. It is simple fact that not all of the editors of literary magazines, pub houses, general interest magazines, and the like are lacking talent as writers. I used Gordon Lish as a primo example and thought you might find the article amusing, considering what you call "common knowledge" is the fact that he is quite a brutal editor. I cannot vouch for your Ms Peabody (again I dearly apologize for her giving you the boot-although it is a daily occurrence with you, you still have my utmost sympathy). You ranting and raving and swearing every which may makes you sound childish and ignorant, and your underlying threats are quite pointless. You have taken this route before and although I do believe it befits you, it makes me think: 1) as much as you go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about how you are doing this and that face rejection every day, you raction show something different. You make no sense. Therefore, what is the point? You know it all. You always have known it all. You have to let me know just how important you are and all the people you deal with, but seem to have little to show for it. I suggest if you have not already, light one up now, because as much as you would like to thin to the contrary you are not showing me anything in the way of intelligent conversation. Again, my sincerest apologies for the rejection, I hope you have more success in the future.
Re: a comment on Can you believe this piece of shit was #1? by horus8	9-Aug-03/5:54 PM
Look, I am sorry Ms Peabody (Whomever the fuck that is) rejected you. But get used to it, because it is going to happen and again. And every time it happens is not because an editor doesn't have the ability to write the genius that comes from your pot infested mind. So get over it, and get used to it instead of sounding like an L.A. crybaby. Work harder, write better. Listen to your peers. I sent that link because I thought you would genuinely find it interesting, but now I realize that others' literary musings mean nothing to a star like yourself, who in a sense is a brick wall when it comes to anything in the way of valid criticism form writers more established than yourself. It is a problem rampant on the site and you are the blind leading the naked. Most of these people do not want any sort of criticism (whether harshly or gently). They do not want to get better. They just want praise for the shit they post. End of story. A quick ego boost of instant gratification. Furthermore, instead of having anything valid or intelligent to say about Mr. Lish you simply go into a defensive posture, which puts you on the same level as your kid. Grow up and maybe so will your writing.
Re: a comment on Can you believe this piece of shit was #1? by horus8	9-Aug-03/1:48 PM
Your right, you do not need an editor. You write perfect little ditties. Sorry about the declines from NFG. However, I bet you are declined a lot because no one understands how deep and poetic you are. Fuck them all. You are better than that and deep, deep underground. Maybe I was thinking different for a minute, but no, you are a joke.
Re: Weeping Willow by LuckyJoe	8-Aug-03/10:29 PM
Clichés ruin both poems; although the idea is not necessarily empty. Try cutting down on the heavy handed word drama.
Re: Looking down by INTRANSIT	8-Aug-03/10:26 PM
Rather vague. And the "that" alone on a line has got to go. I see where you might be going with it, but you might try and clear it up a bit.

Re: Yellow Cake for Everyone by Retaliate	8-Aug-03/10:18 PM
Damn, I really like the first part because it really bites as satire. the play on the cake is a great idea. Then you pull and Sinclair and make a statement at the end; become a bit rhetorical. I think you should try keeping the tone of the beginning all the way through. Keep the humor, Make it hurt.

But Z, can't you hear the Sound of Silence behind this. Come on now, everybody try it. Read the first line and then start singing the song. Okay go: A plastic tube in oval claret "Hello darkness my old friend" Your fate lays in a monotone beep. "I've come to talk with you again. But read Cads lines in a T.S. voice. It works. It is genius.

Okay, Z has taken the time to inform me that she and her family were kicked to the curb after the granny kicked it, and that she was attached to a monitor. She probably watched flowers bloom under the fluorescents too.
