Hello! Firstly, I love your review. I have a few questions though (as a poet myself): How does the public's taste in poetry differ now than it 20 years ago? The Paris Review had an article recently stating that there are now "an insufficiency of readers but too many people trying to get published" - how is The Paris Review combating this? Lastly, what are your pet peeves in submissions you get? For example, I work at a journal as well and my "pet peeve" is poems about pieces of obscure artwork that cannot stand alone. Thanks!

I'm not part of the review, but Anne Carson recently wrote a book in which the line breaks were decided by the justified page format and thin margins; I know if you read PANK there are lots of people who take advantage of the online formatting. Lots use it for self-promotion as well.

Two I'd personally recommend are The Adroit Journal and PANK magazine! But then again, I'd like to know what the Paris Review has to say.

I hope they answer with John Berryman. I adore their interview with him.
