My practice in writing poems is to send the first draft out to
five INternet sources: rec.arts.poems,alt.arts.poetry.comments,
poetryetc,british-poets, and Peter Howard's list. If the poem
is no good it sinks without trace, but if there is something
interesting in it I might get 2-3 responses. THat has been
my practice for thirteen years now adding sources as they appear.
I would point out that I hardly ever send out later drafts.
