Chekhov's Mistress
Found Poems, sort of
I’m happy to hear that Paul Muldoon, whom I’m a fan of, will become the New Yorker’s poetry editor, replacing Alice Quinn (Edgar Allan Poe & The Juke-Box) who has been in that spot for 20 years.
I also liked the way the (finally free) New York Times juxtaposed these two quotes:
Quinn:
“…Ms. Quinn said that 85 percent of what she published came to her in the mail “with little or no notice.” She said that the magazine regularly received more than 600 poems a week.”
Muldoon:
“One would want to be absolutely open to the poem that one simply did not expect to have made its way into the world and somehow suddenly falls on one’s desk,” he [Muldoon] said.
I doubt I could keep that perspective for more than a month of 600 poems per week.
