Poetry editor needed

I'm sad to see Spencer Troxell moving on, he brought a thoughtfulness and perspective to the position that I really enjoyed. But co-editors are made to go on to other things, and I don't really mind that.

Poetry editors work in conjunction with --Ed. Dan Scannell to read, evaluate, send rejection letters, and accept an occasional piece of work for Thieves Jargon. You'll correspond with lots of nice writers and a few disgruntled ones. You'll read enough work that yours will only get better.

We're looking for somebody that's been published in Thieves Jargon before, and therefore knows what we like to publish. You need to have an appreciation for street-level writing, MFA-grade craft, and an eye for that one unique line.

Interested candidates, please send an email to thejargon at gmail dot gom, listing a few of your favorite poems, either from our archives or links to other journals.

Thieves Jargon 195

Love the "Horse Slump" piece by Rhodes Stevens. Nice to see xTx, the internet's biggest tease, lurking around these parts. Big ups to bowling alley representation, always welcome in these parts, especially the candlepin variety. Thomas Mundt's "The Creep" hit me right. Good issue, gang.
