SUE LITTLETON
Is Spring Over Yet? Please Say YES!

As our years increase Our days grow longer and our nights grow shorter until we find ourselves greeting the dawn accompanied by citybird song in the veriest AM. There is a sort of songbird here that tunes his six-note fall of none too melodic pipes at four AM and continues to serenade the neighborhood until dusk. At least there is a certain melodic effect – he tries! Indeed, he does. For several months, anticipating Spring, I awake remembering Kipling and “On the Road to Mandalay.” You know, where “the dawn comes up like thunder” – only it is not “outer China cross the bay,” it is the echoing thunder of thousands and thousands of fat city pigeons and little grey doves shaking the city’s sprawl, rivaling the traffic sounds with thundering coos. In Buenos Aires, our dawn also comes up like thunder, whether we like it... or not.

The implication of Duotrope's notice concerning poetryrepairs is by omission incorrect:
Duotrope - poetryREpairs
"This listing has been removed. Publication details and submission statistics for this project are no longer available through our site"".
The "removal" was the request of poetryrepairs as we felt that Duotrope was ripping off poets by offering 1. what other directories offered for no charge; and, 2., offering data which is created by the poets themselves (i.e. report time, percentage of acceptances, etc.) $50 US is a lot of money per annum for struggling poets. When the charge was put into effect, poetryrepairs requested that poetryrepairs be removed. The implication that Duotrope found poetryrepairs in some way problematic is an error of omission. Of course, once Duotrope got in the business of overcharging poets, falsehood by omission is no great leap; There are similar directories online that don't charge for the information which others generate. Poetryrepairs cannot in good conscience support or participate in Duotrope. We hope other outlets for poetry will join our boycott of Duotrope. We ASK TO BE REMOVED from Duotrope.
