Why is it that almost every poetry journal in existence is titled according to one of two models?
The [placename] [publication]
or
[catchy, non-poetry-related noun]
Surely the language allows other possibilities?

I know of one journal called “32 Poems.” Or you could go the Keillor route with “Good Poems.” I always thought that was setting the bar pretty low. Then there’s HOW2. Blink — is that a verb?
Blink could be a verb. Or a noun. I’m sure my schema isn’t comprehensive -it was just a vague sense that the options aren’t being explored.
Or a made-up word that means nothing at all.
Yup :)
