It�s been terrific. If you got the job:
- You�d read a lot of poetry, and find out what people are writing at the moment.
- You�d discover (probably) whether you like reading large numbers of poems.
- You could bring new writers to the magazine.
- You�d sit around with editor Michael Mackmin and discuss whether a poem works or not, and why. That was the best thing of all.
- You�d learn about ordering poems, and work on putting the magazine together.
- You�d edit your own section in one issue of the magazine, together with your co-assistant editor.
- You�d find out what�s involved in running a poetry magazine, from design to finance to publicity.
[And if the wonkiness of the above list makes you doubt my editing skills, fair enough but I can't make it come out right!]
