—I do—and some people really love Galway Kinnell, like this woman here.
In other news, have you heard about the the Baby Daddy Theory of Poetic Influence?
Meanwhile, via Mike Lynch, a cartoonist named Roy Delgado has so far submitted 19,000 cartoons to The New Yorker (by his estimate), all rejected.

Tell me more
They say that dashes “are particularly useful in a sentence that is long and complex.” Emdashes—like em dashes—emphasizes what’s between: in particular, between the lines, covers, and issues of a magazine close to my heart.

Comments
Speaking of which, that new book of
rejected New Yorker cartoons is out in the
stores now. I hope you will be reviewing
it soon. I think it is put out by Diffee.
Want to review it, Bruce? Seriously. I'll get you a copy.
Slight Correction on Mike Lynch's blog . . My cartoons that appear on a regular basis in Harvard Business Review, The Wall Street Journal, Barrons, Readers Digest, Good Housekeeping, First for Women, Womans World, Medical Economics, The Writer, The National Law Journal, Business Law Today, American Legion, Hemispheres The Magazine of United Airways, etc, etc. and the new book: NATIONAL LAMPOONS FAVORITE CARTOONS OF THE 21st CENTURY, where I'm prominently featured, are ALL NEW YORKER REJECTED CARTOONS.
The title is really: THE WORLD'S MOST REJECTED CARTOONIST FROM ONE MAGAZINE ( WHO SUPPOSEDLY BUY FREELANCE CARTOONS FROM THE OPEN MARKET ) WHO HAS SUBMITTED REGULARLY AND TIMELY AND WITHOUT INTERRUPTION AND CONTINUES TO GET REJECTED.
The interesting thing is that 99% of the REGULAR CARTOONISTS
who appear in the above magazines are ALL NEW YORKER CARTOONISTS!
I WILL BE IN THE NEW YORKER. . if I have to BUY CONDE NASTE.
I'm addicted to emdashes, what a wonderful site to NEW YORKER LOVERS. GREAT JOB YOU DO!
Roy Delgado
If I DO buy it, I better learn how to spell CONDE NAST !
