How old are you, Doug, or in which country?
For me, even hard-copy counted against me.
"Do you find that writing poetry *interferes with your teaching, Dr.
Hamilton?"
Having been turned down for at least four jobs because I wrote poetry, it
was hysterically funny to find myself stopped at the Efficiency Bar.
{Not that the Suits could actujllly *do anything to me, as I'd already
topped the salary limit.)
If you write poetry in the UK, you don't just button your mouth but you sew
your lips shut.
Or it was once.
{One of the killers in the UK was "peer reviewed publications". That meant
poets and dramturges made common cause.
Fuck all good it did, and it all went down te tank when the UK Academic
Academic Review Exercise decided to exclude reviews.
Do you *know how long it takes to write a decemt review if there are maybe
three people in the ever-loving world who'd bother to read what you say?
Same time it takes takes to write a (peer reviewed) article.
Natch, the Lost Boys (good on then) promptly stopped writing revew articles
...
End result is if you read an academic review today, you get what you you pay
for -- if you pay monkeys, you get peanuts.
Way it goes ...
