Thanks Frank,
Now you mention it, I have seen it - sort of a tabloid publication with
a big pic of a poet on the cover. (Remember, we live in a poetry-free
zone down here.) Just wasn't familiar with the acronym.
I like the idea of laundering poetry. I had a very clear image of you
sitting there amongst suds and whirling Levis and jocks (I'm speaking
generally here) marking up pages.
Cheers,
Jill
