I generally stay aloof from the media world I contribute to, and there are both costs and benefits. A cost is that I miss out on networking (though I share contacts on here) but a benefit is missing out on having to feign bonhomie or claiming I love someone’s work bc I know them
The unspoken thing, in both journalism and academia, is that people will promote each other’s work without reading it — this is the common practice. Because if you read some of this stuff, you might engage critically with it, and then you’d be less effective at selling it
I’ve been told many times that so and so is “the leading person” on XYZ or “essential” & then I do the thing you’re not supposed to do, I read the work, & it’s either piffle or a mash up of conventional, thinkable thoughts. But if I do read something good, I sincerely endorse it
I don't promote any work without reading it, except, of course, for my own. I really could use your money. "Buy, buy, buy," as some dude, I think on television, says.

This is especially bad among poets. One of the reasons I'm glad I no longer run in New York poetry circles is I was tired of glad-handing people's work just because I liked them as people.
"So real...so honest...so urgent...keep going in that direction"
