the publishing conundrum

i find it odd that now that i have begun writing again, and have dared to show my writing in this format, i have just two days ago pulled the poems that i loved the most from this site, in order to begin submitting them for consideration for publication in various journals.  i hadn't realized that being here was being'published' so now that i am boldly proclaiming my openness to being seen, i have also removed the guts of my stuff--can't have previously published stuff submitted, and as odd as it is since although probably my favorite people had seen my writing here, i don't think very many people would have seen the stuff, down they had to go.

so now i would like to have some other conversations...about the really important stuff.  like:  what is the difference between good art and magnificent art (which question a deardear asked the other day, but that is haunting, really); how do we define home; what's the best book on your night table right now; which films do you love right now; etc. etc.   ideas?  we'll talk more later.  right?
