My Feelings Exactly

Odd, isn't it, when you read something and it more clearly states exactly how you feel than you have been able to communicate yourself? That feeling came upon me this morning as I read this over on Poems and Poetics

A PROSPECTUS

In this age of internet and blog the possibility opens of a free circulation of works (poems and poetics in the present instance) outside of any commercial or academic nexus. I will therefore be posting work of my own, both new & old, that may otherwise be difficult or impossible to access, and I will also, from time to time, post work by others who have been close to me, in the manner of a freewheeling on-line anthology or magazine. I take this to be in the tradition of autonomous publication by poets, going back to Blake and Whitman and Dickinson, among numerous others.

Exactly!!
We are all published and free from the opinions of editors, publishing houses, and advertisers.
We become a democracy at last.
There's no money in it.
