Publishing a poet

I published a fine poem by a fine poet today and enjoyed doing so. That's what makes it a great thing to be a poetry magazine editor. Sometimes you get a great submission and it is a privilege to be able to showcase a poet's work in your pages. I've always liked that aspect of being a magazine editor. You sometimes get the chance to make someone's day by giving them a bit of a platform to show their skills and poetic prowess.
