    Have you ever tried to figure out what previously published means? It's a freakin' maze. For some, it feels like you better never have even spoken your poem aloud otherwise they don't want it. Yes! Even if you just whispered them to yourself in a dark room. For others, it's fine so long as they were only published on Twitter in six parts on a Tuesday sometime after the turn of the century. Woof. But thankfully, these literary magazines don't give two whistling shits where it was published, and they want your work right now. So, as all the great minds of our generation say, 'just give up and take the easy road.'
