NEW YORK, Aug 14.-That mad

Fun Wasn't Enough.
She wore her simplest frocks. her
vivid face was without makeup. her
black hair she had shampooed her

public consumption.
Il quit the movies and hid my
self a time" said she. But having
fun wasn't enough.
First l went to a lot of parties,
and that was delightful for a while
knowing you could stay out as
long as you felt like it and wouldn't
have to get up and go out on the
lot the next morning.
Then I went to art school. I
took up sculpture because I thought
that would be good and hard. But
I wasn't so good. Then went back
to my music-I practiced four hours
a day for a while. Then I got itch
ing feet and did a lot of travelling.
And then looked at myself and

she. Look"
This was Graf, the Great Dane,

Poetry Racketeers
North Carolina Poetry RevieW

North Carolina Poetry Review)
Anyone who has written on
any considerable scale, with pub
lication of his or her work in
view, has had experience with
the literary racketeer. Poetry,
just as other literary forms, has
it's racketeers, who stand ready
to prOfiteer on the unadvised
|egotism or the ignorant ambi-
ton of the misinformed poet or
would-be poet.
The aspiring poet is often be-
sieged with a food of the poetry
racketeer's propositions. He is
getting out an anthology" in
which he will include your
poems for five or ten or twenty
dollars apiece. Or he wants you
to join his national association"
which, incidentally, includes a
sizeable initiation fee and dues.
Or he offers you his "experienc-
ed criticism" at so much poem,
or so much line. Steer clear
of him. He will take your money
and do you harm so far as your
literary reputation is concerned.
If you have to pay for having
your work published, better
leave it unpublished. Your as
sociation with a scheme or prop
osition of this nature will do
your literary standing damage
that cannot be repaired besides
robbing you of money that
could be much better spent.
Do not mistake our meaning.
We do not refer to the reputable
magazine editors +or reputable
publishing houses, in which
your poems are to be included
ION the understanding that you
will subscribe for a certain num-
Der of volumes. Such ventures,
| if reputably backed, will help
your poetic reputation rather
than damage it, and may even
be stepping-stones to literary
success.
1t is to the disreputable
agents" and "critics" who prey
on inexperienced. uniformed
beginners we have reference
here. They maintain q racket. .
No other word expresses it cor
rectly. Rebuff their approaches
instantly, if you are interested
in having your work published
in magazines or books Of quality,
and wish to stand on your own
merit in the poetic field.
