Another Question
Thanks CDY, Paul, and Charlie for your advice! Hopefully my application readers and I agree which are my strongest poems {shudder}. The feedback I've gotten, when I've gotten it, has certainly been inconsistent. Suddenly I'm feeling nervous.
I'm also wondering how to indicate which poems in the sample have been published or accepted for publication? An acknowledgements page seems awkward, because the sample itself isn't being published. I tried footnotes, but that looked garish. It's a short list, so I could put it in my cover letter, but what if they don't read the letter? Any more good advice?
Comments
If there's room, I'd suggest putting the acknowledgements as headers at the top of the page. For example, hypothetically, if your name, address, etc., are in the upper left, put the acknowledgement in the upper right.
I think it would look less intrusive as a headnote at the top than as a footnote.

I don't think you need to list the acknowledgements at all.
