Slush
I've been interested in the 'slush pile' lately - a term loosely applied to what David Lynn of the Kenyon Review describes as " the unsolicited manuscripts that appear by the tens and dozens and, yes, thousands." And, true to global consciousness theories, there have been a few great articles online these past weeks.
First, an interesting insight from Poetry Midwest Editor Matthew Schmeer titled "Thoughts on Rejecting Poems".
More recently, a thread of articles on the Kenyon Review's excellent new blog. It started with an article in their Newsletter # 3 The Editor's Confessions about the Slush Pile, contributed by David Lynn. (Copied to The Waters). Today on the KR blog we find these two articles: On Electronic Slush by Jessica Freeman-Slade, and Death by Tuba by Sergei Lobanov-Rostovsky.
Enjoy!
