Well, I just commited my first act of Hitchhikery, or whatever is appropriate. I criticized a poem written by a heartbroken parent of a stillborn. I called it "not a legitimate poem," and I tried to be gentle other than that, but still . . .you know, there's art and there's people. I believe in art so much, believe you must seperate criticism from general emotion - BUT THIS SEEMS SO WRONG. I mean, writing, esp. poetry, is so inextricably bound with emotion. So I don't know if I "did right."

People who cant accept criticism, either positive or sometimes downright rude, dont publish their works in any medium for very long... u have to be thick skinned - I should know, Ive had a few real tramplings!
And hello again!

i should submit some of my poetry . . . but i hate all of it. NOTHING ever passes the next-day test. Sometimes they pass the next-week test, but then they don't pass the next-week-and-a-day test. I think it must be someone else's fault.
