Hi Doug:

HL has a small staff. I have to wait months before hearing back from them. I read back issues of HL at Poets House and was struck by their diversity and history. Yes, not being online is

restrictive. I am OK with it. It has the flavor of pre-cyber anarchy. I like its style. But I see what you

mean. Do you live here in the city. Poets House should reopen in a few months

Great article! Very inspiring and I too, agree with the people at Hanging Loose that paper existence is important in this world where everything seems so temporary and fleeting

This story has such a relatable old-school vibe. I can smell the mimeograph ink

I'll take your word for this being a worthy journal, Robert, but:

- you have to buy a copy to find out what they publish

- they only accept postal submissions

- they don't allow simultaneous submissions but expect you to wait up to 6 months for a response.
