I've witnessed Susan Schultz read at least twice within large group
readings at MLA conferences in Washington DC & her presentation was
certainly beyond "decent". Hoping to witness a full-scale performance
within both a literary critical seminar & a poetry reading at a Lannan
Foundation event at Georgetown University. As a scholar of literary
magazines & small presses, I'd evaluate her editorial activity under the
Tinfish umbrella as remarkably useful & formally innovative. Could you
name your co-collaborator, list the names of the six readers, and supply
300 words of convincing evaluative prose from your friend on each of the
presenters? Otherwise, you're merely passing on oblique and unconvincing
personal insults.
