genre error

Nothing is more off-putting than a poet disappointed about how poetry (theirs in particular) is not being widely noticed.

small steps

You like to think that the pages of the literary magazine you’ve published in are small steps toward notice and attention.

less of the same

You have written and published a dozen books and you are almost unknown among fellow poets, not to mention any greater audience. Is it not time to slow down, to re-set, and to see if you can find a strain of poetry that will be recognized?

splits cracks voids

A poet notices the interstices.

noticed or resistant to notice

Nothing is beneath notice, though some things resist being recorded.

short shrift

Not a review, but a nod of notice. (The problem with microreviews is if they’re positive they’re indistinguishable from blurbs.)

target exposed

The plagiarist’s target was an unknown, but after the theft was noticed for the first time.

didn't see that coming

The best images are those you thought beneath notice.
