DIAGRAM<\/a>, a journal of text, art, & schematic<\/p>\n

Why all caps? I lean towards lower case everything. Well okay all caps everything is a different kind of statement. <\/p>\n

Very happy to see Nin Andrews<\/a> in the current issue. Remind me to find everything Nin Andrews has published on the Internet. <\/p>\n

The masthead<\/a> is goofy. I like the photos of eyes only. Except for the sonics guy who has an eye and an ear. Points for appropriateness. <\/p>\n

Their author index<\/a> is not up-to-date with the current (4.4) authors<\/a>. Another symptom of the syndrome of web-site-maintenance-boredom-among-poets, the place where I seem to want to live. <\/p>\n

The editor Ander Monson has a very comprehensive home page<\/a> on the DIAGRAM site. I find that unbecoming. I’m interested that he’s interested in design (web and book)<\/a>. mmmmme 2<\/p>\n

Envious of his list of projects<\/a>. <\/p>\n

“We value the insides of things…” The idea of schematics – I like it. It becomes a handy unifying visual element. I would guess they are easy to find. And who cares if you use them. Buy old old textbooks at book sales and steal. They seem to have impenetrable meaning and are threatening symbols of studious nerdiness. I think they go well with poetry. Yeah, look here, number 16. <\/p>\n

(By the way, Tufte<\/a> is very critical of diagrams that use numerical pointers cross-referenced to text.)<\/p>\n

A long page of links<\/a>, just like everybody else. The list of Ander editorial projects is illuminating. Small community you see. The names start to repeat and congeal. There’s a schematic for you. <\/p>\n

Neck-Deep<\/i>, odd essays. I’d like to see these so-called odd essays. <\/p>\n

I’m not a reader. I’d like to be a non-reader reviewer. That is, reject everything sent to me for review, except what really catches my fancy. What would that be? Odd essays certainly sounds appealing. <\/p>\n

Submissions guidelines<\/a> seems to be a subgenre all its own. After just a couple, I’m starting to find them precious and annoying. Tell me, what do you REALLY like. And what is the purpose behind this language? What are the politics? I’d like to write an odd essay about the poetics of submission guidelines. <\/p>\n

Mostly I’d like to add discipline to my writing experience. Submission guidelines are distracting. <\/p>\n

It’s a different experience being a critic. My barbed wire is showing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
