Just a reminder, if you haven't had time to vote yet, to go and vote for The Harrow at http://www.critters.org/predpoll/fictionzine.shtml. Bring the kids along. I've been, variously, a reviewer and poetry editor for years. Our humble zine is currently in the Top Ten category, and we should hope to keep it that way.
Posted by jason at January 5, 2004 08:40 AM | TrackBackIrrelevant, except to a refined sense of horror -- the zine's title (God, "zine" is a horrid word) made me think of an old quotation which I checked and found to be by Kipling, from a poem called "Pagett M.P.":
The toad beneath the harrow knows
Exactly where each tooth-point goes;
The butterfly upon the road
Preachhes contentment to that toad.
For your amusement.

Good kipling line, but I don't have that poem in my "Collected Verse".
