Edgar Allan Poe has a lot to answer for. It was Poe,...: "

Edgar Allan Poe has a lot to answer for. It was Poe, after all, who self-published his first book of poems, thus giving hope to rhymesters everywhere who have found themselves dissed, ignored and inadvertently humiliated by mainstream publishers. Poe is the name often dropped by disgruntled poets whose dens are wallpapered with rejection slips ('Dear Sir or Madam: While your epic poem cycle on the history of the world's oceans is fascinating, we regret to say t it does not meet our needs at the present time.')

So glad to see Chicago Tribune's book section's move to Saturday has upped the quality of their writing so.
