It makes sense to use POD for poetry in my view. But then again some publisher like the more traditional approach. > Date: Thu, 14 Jul 2011 23:30:23 +0100 > From: Alec Newman <[log in to unmask]> > Subject: "Why POD is fine with me" > To: [log in to unmask] >I'm afraid I've only really known POD as a medium for new poetry. So, I have no opinion about the prestige of it. All I know is, as someone who only became aware of new poetry in the 90s, the shitter a book is made, the more I'm likely to love the poetry. The first Sheppard I bought literally shed it's pages on the floor the first time I read it. alec > Date: Thu, 14 Jul 2011 21:47:23 +0100 > From: [log in to unmask] > Subject: "Why POD is fine with me" > To: [log in to unmask] > > http://adamfieled.blogspot.com/2008/11/why-pod-is-fine-with-me.html -- David Joseph Bircumshaw Website and A Chide's Alphabet http://www.staplednapkin.org.uk The Animal Subsides http://www.arrowheadpress.co.uk/books/animal.html Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/david.bircumshaw twitter: http://twitter.com/bucketshave blog: http://groggydays.blogspot.com/
