I have been thinking of doing this for a while; I was a poetry reader for a journal years ago, and I have also judged poetry contests. This article makes me think it is time to get back to it!

I love the optimistic tone of this article. It stands in harsh contrast to a previous entry listing all the many reasons editors find to reject manuscripts. Volunteering for such noble work might help writers see what is out there in Submissionland, and where their works stand, It is insane to believe that a rejection can hinge on the smallest detail: the tone was a bit cosmopolitan, the humor was too wry, the vision a tad myopic.
