My First 509 (more or less)
THE FIRST 509 (I THINK)
Most people couldn’t care less about the pile of citations below. But a few of us, who are described in various ways in the popular psychological literature, find such things fascinating. It is for those who like such things that the list below has been compiled. I don’t think I would have done it without encouragement.
To be clear, the list below is not the first five hundred poetry acceptances. I’ve had over two hundred poems manage to not get printed by the first place to accept them. Most of those appeared elsewhere. This is what I think are my first five hundred poems approximately in order of publication. I certainly did not keep a list as they appeared, so I do not know what order things arrived in when multiple publications happened the same month.
The list below is changeable if for no other reason than that (happily) poems are still getting reprinted. In addition, I have had many poems accepted that may well have been published, but I do not count them because I have not seen them in print. I may yet find evidence that they were printed. I wish the list was actually numbered, but MS Word doesn’t allow for reverse numbering, and Weebly can’t handle lists this long.
Some notes regarding unpublished acceptances are included for poems that eventually saw publication. There are also judgment calls. I have counted one poem that consisted of three previously published poems. On the other hand I have counted a poem once even if multiple excerpts were reprinted independently. I have been assured that poems appearing in my master’s theses don’t count as having been published, even though any academic can access them. They are not counted here, but are noted when they appeared elsewhere. I won’t even start with all the challenges of researching a list such as this after twenty-five years. In the unlikely event that any readers have verifiable omissions or corrections, please email me. (Updated 7/29/20)
