I've had poets send me as much as fifty dollars to print their poem. And some said they were coming up here to wring my neck. I've heard something about that. Oh, yes, some people get real hot. That's tough too.
Editors have to just do what they can to see that the best writing gets in print.
If reviews and articles about you and Wind are any indication, you've succeeded in doing just that. G. Breed Wind Magazine is reprinted more than any other small magazine in its class. Semones A Kentucky writer once remarked that this state produces some outstanding writers, even though it produces few outstanding readers. In fact, everyone I know who's familiar with the magazine agrees that your work through the years has been a major accomplishment, something that will not be forgotten, and something we do not intend to let die. And thanks for 22 years of Wind Magazine , which is fast becoming a Kentucky tradition.
