The Missouri Review Rejects George W. Bush’s Poem
Dear Mr. President, I speak only for myself and not the entire editorial staff of the EastWesterly Review, but we would publish your poem for a small fee—let’s just say it would be less than $80 billion dollars. You do understand how things work when submissions are not of our expected quality, right? Via Metafilter.
Why not also try to attract already published, venerated poets? Say, like… Ashanti? Take this gem, for instance: “I’ll tell you once again, boy/ I’ll share your love, sorrow, and joy/ I want to spend time/ with my baby.”
