Malleable Jangle: no you can't hold it in your hand [unless you have a handheld or wearable computer], but you can access it easily from anywhere in the world for free. It is egalitarian literature that can be read by anyone.
It is true that there is very little risk financially, and i like it that way. Malleable Jangle is a moneyless zone; you can't purchase or sell there. It embraces a post-consumer aesthetic, and i reckon that's as intellectual as it needs to be; the poets provide the intellectual integrity.
There are print and online journals, some good, some bad. I saw my name in the telephone book today but i'm not going to include it in my bio.
I usually take a passive approach to editing and this is mainly because of time restraints. Malleable Jangle is a monthly and the first of the month comes around pretty quickly. The other reason is that i assume the poet will submit work that has been personally edited and is as close to the best work that poem can be; i trust the poet with their poem. However, some grammar and spelling i will query with the author.
The wonderful thing about web publishing is that you can [as opposed to print journals] make changes, correct typos, or misplaced stanza breaks after publication.
Is a poem considered published if it is a snap, on a blog, or on a personal website?
Best regards, Robert Lane.
