Dear poetryetc,
I've had it too and I'll tell you why:
* most members are men
* most contributors are men
* I am treated like some naive undergrad politico when I suggest a Code of
Practice to stop people leaving and to stop those remaining from resorting
to bitchiness (see: Candice's comment)
*to be heard on this list you practically have to shout. I'd rather be
writing a poem or review or getting on with my life
Helen Garner has said something along the lines of 'poets are the meanest
people ... but what they do when they're working is radiantly worth it.'
Work is worth it, but this isn't.
Cheers,
Cassie
