Chekhov's Mistress
Poets Leading the Way in On-line Publishing
From Publisher’s Weekly “Poetry Off the Books: The Internet is where poetry proliferates:”
Publishers are beginning to hold magazines like Octopus in the same high esteem as longstanding print publications. While Jeff Shotts, poetry editor of Graywolf Press, acknowledges that publication in print magazines is still more prestigious than online publication, he sees that changing: “Publishing online by sites that have gained a reputation will eventually be every bit of an honor—perhaps more so—as publishing in what we today consider our most prestigious print magazines.” Elizabeth Cochrane, poetry publicist at Knopf, cites Slate.com as one of the places she most likes seeing her authors’ poems. Many online magazines also feature book reviews, another way they are valuable to poetry publishers. Shotts lists online journals alongside traditional sources of coverage such as newspapers and magazines as places he wants Graywolf books gaining attention.

And if you noticed little posting here about what books I’m reading, well, it’s because I’ve not had a precious second to read. Sad, isn’t it? Perhaps after the taxes are done.
