Hi David,
apart from the fact that many poetry publishers are publishers because they
are poets, publishers have experience of what titles work, that's all. We
had somebody wanted to call their chapbook Can't Complain once...and a duff
sounding title is a Can't Complain title to us ever since!
cheers Sally
