Editor's Notes
Why I do not consider e-mailed submissions ---
If I accepted e-mailed submissions, I would either have to read submissions from a computer screen, or print them out using my own ink, paper, printer and time. So, what is quicker and less expensive for the submitting poet turns out to be more time consuming and expensive for me.
Also, I do not need to have an accepted poem in electronic form, since I prefer to type each poem into the computer application myself. I then proof-read thoroughly before beginning the printing process.
I often do not fully appreciate a poem's craft and beauty until I have gotten to know it intimately by typing it. I hope this explains my position on this issue.
Sincerely,
Mary Agnes Dalrymple,
editor of Poppyseed Kolaché,
