Hi Jeffrey
On you for the effort, but I am forced to conclude that the future of
poetry publishing is men. One woman out of 15 editors? Even with the
online contribution? I mean, don't give me the answer that there are
not woman editors out there - Kate Fagan (How@), Susan M. Schulz
(Tinfish) and me (Masthead) spring to my mind without even thinking.
I'm sure a quick rootle around would find dozens more.
I don't like adding up figures as if they mean something in
themselves, but here I think it's a problem.
All the best
Alison

To do this, I have gathered responses from the following editors to a set of questions regarding these issues.
