Dom: Your poetry editing re: three poems has given me cause to think that there is one thing missing on this web ring, esp. for new poets and that is some *critiquing.* I wouldn't mind for instance, if I posted a poem and anyone who had the time - gave me suggestions, say in a word, or to rephrase a line. I think this would be an all round good thing. When I read Douglas Clark's poems and I hope he doesn't mind, but sometimes a different word pops into my head, but I don't want to insult him, or make a suggestion without the consent of the author. Does anyone else feel the same as I do? I am struggling with a *cat* poem, (our family pet) and wonder if this web ring could perhaps be put to better use other than being an educator on theorists, philosophers masters etc. HH >From: "domfox" <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: [log in to unmask] >To: <[log in to unmask]> >Subject: Re: Three poems >Date: Wed, 6 Sep 2000 22:11:03 +0100 > >The reference is to the use of salt-water in the curing of leather.
