In a one horse open slay

My first batch of poems is being discussed in workshop tomorrow. I hate to sound like a silly parent, but I really hope that everyone in my workshop reads them carefully and thinks about them. It's difficult enough to put your little creations out there for everyone to lace into, the least you can hope for is well thought insight. There are ten pages and like six poems, and I'm really interested in what everyone has to say.

Last night I was reading submissions at the Sonora Review (the literary journal that the MFAers here put out) and I came across a submission from a girl I know in the MFA program at ASU. I was in Norman Dubie's workshop with her last fall, and she was kind of an asshole the few times she bothered talking to me, even in a casual environment. Thankfully the poems she sent in were not very strong, and someone else had already "no'd" them, which means that my no would be the one that killed the submission. If they were good I would have wanted to kill it anyway but wouldn't have, which would have made me pissed a little bit. Being as they were it was with a happy heart that I put them in the kill pile. I guess it just goes to show you not to be an asshole to people in your classes.
