I don’t think it is a moral imperative, Tony, but it seems artistically limiting not to do so. If a publisher only publishes poets they know or who they’ve heard of, or who they think will sell well, then the sorts of poetry published will be more of the same. Original Message: Does anyone here really think that any publisher has a moral imperative to retain an open-door policy to submissions? I do here at Shearsman, but I assure you that I can see very good reasons for not doing so.
