Editors Who Checklist
Poets
A Poet’s Autobiography is his Poetry
-Yevtushenko
A poem is itself
So I’m not going to play any victim cards
I’m not even seated in their game
Ticking self-pity boxes is their game
Not mine
A poem is itself
I am not anyone’s propagandist
All are free to read a poem or not
Like it or not for its artistry and craft
(Or lack
thereof)
But I won’t be a confessional professional
A poem is itself
A worthy editor is a pearl beyond price
But a literary commissar is nekul'turnyy
For a poem is itself
