In this episode of eMerge Unchained, host Aubrey Green sits down with poet and co-editor of the I-70 Review, Maryfrances Wagner. They put their editor hats on and share the one thing they wish people knew when work gets rejected, and Maryfrances offers the single best piece of advice when submitting to a magazine or journal for the first time.
She reflects on the influence of her poetic family, as well as the inspiration her Italian heritage has brought to her own writing journey. She admonishes poets to never talk down to their readers, to be mindful of both how and what they write, and even shares the subject she finds hardest to approach herself.
Join Aubrey and Maryfrances as they talk about turkey vultures, politics, and why, even as language changes, the elements of a good poem remain the same.
