This blog will sometimes carry samples of my work. Why here? Well, these samples will largely consist of, (there is no delicate way to put this), rejected material. This usually happens when an editor believes that by accepting my work they might seriously damage the polity.
Here's a sample from last October, starting with an actual email I received from a real editor of a MAJOR American literary journal.
"Dear Dennis:
I'm not just an editor. I'm a motherfucking cop. If you think we would publish something so raw, so real, and so timely, then you must be stoned. And that, son, is against the law. Please feel free to resubmit when you have something less raw, less real, more candy-ass and mainstream. Until then, I'll be watching your punk ass.
Signed,
The editor of a seriously BIG DEAL literary journal and a damn good cop"
