/lit/ - Literature

What is the meaning of this cutting cruelty? The thread is strewn with it, like broken glass on cold tiles. I do not expect absolute reverence of the Quarterly, but some remarks are vitriolic. I see masks fall amidst the furious clatter of keys, revealing ugly resentment and tenpenny pessimism.

KMD is doing God's work. He has created a corporeal composition of quality, which only increases as time goes by. He nurtures it with his own will and capital, and seeks your elevation, as well as his. So please, be gentlemanly in your criticism.

To the presently unpublished anons, keep hope. As you can see, the Quarterly was inundated with submissions and has limited space. The wheat had to be seperated from the chaff. Sharpen your nibs, hone your craft and prepare for the next challenge.

Thanks, anon. Fascinating writing. Especially those poems by the Irishman. I wonder who he was.
