Contact Submissions U.S. Copyright Code Info On Dan Schneider Dan's Résumé Jessica's Résumé
If you want to contact Dan Schneider, Jessica Schneider, or any of the other Cosmoetica contributors about the site, drop a line to cosmoetica - at- gmail- dot- com. All emails with attachments will be deleted unread, and any threats- personal or legal- will immediately be reported to the authorities. Harassment will be reported to the authorities if of a threatening nature. All contacts, emails, and submissions- electronic, print, or postal, become the intellectual property of Cosmoetica, which is free to do with them as it sees fit, for all contacts, emails, and submissions to Cosmoetica grant a non-exclusive license to forward or post online any contact, emails or submissions in perpetuity; subject to editing for clarity, satire, readability, logic, or any other reason Cosmoetica deems necessary for posting and/or publication on the website. So do all harassments, pointless rants, and curses, which may become the subject of mockery and/or satire via Cosmoetica's email list, and can be posted online at any time. By contacting, emailing, or submitting material(s) to Cosmoetica, copyrighted or not, and any or all persons and/or email addresses associated with the website, the contacter/submitter/respondent waives all rights to claims of damages (personal or financial) or remuneration against Cosmoetica for any embarrassment or regrets suffered because of the rights the website exercises in posting contacts, emails, and/or submissions, now, or in perpetuity, in any medium, online or not- this includes reuses, repostings, and reprints. Emails, by their nature, carry no expectation of privacy, may be reprinted in full or part- at the discretion of the website, and Cosmoetica will not allow people to hide their stupidity, nastiness, nor bigotry behind such. In short, if you are not willing to stand behind a statement that may be forever online, don't email it here. Cosmoetica reserves the right to use any email sent as an example of the asininity of most people. Only provable claims of libel and/or plagiarism are grounds for the removal of material from Cosmoetica. Due to the high volume of traffic and emails Cosmoetica receives (an average week includes 15-1600 queries, submissions, and assorted contacts, not including 3-4 times as many spam emails) it is not likely a reply to every email and/or submission will be granted, so if one is given, appreciate that it is likely because the email had some positive quality 99% of the others lacked. Posted works on Cosmoetica represent the opinions and copyright, solely of the attributed writers, and not necessarily those of Cosmoetica, although the intellectual property rights may belong to Cosmoetica, as well as the writers. All spam and promotional emails received are sent information on Cosmoetica. Ask and you will be removed from further emailings, provided you remove Cosmoetica from your emailing lists.
Realize that Cosmoetica gets many submissions in many genres. There is not time enough to comment on every rejection, much less an individual poem or essay. If you hear nothing, assume the worst, for there is not the time enough to comment and argue about subpar work, especially since most criticisms are unappreciated anyway.
Poems
Poems will be accepted for both the Vers Magnifique page and the Neglected Poets pages. Generally, the Vers Magnifique page is for poets who are known to Cosmoetica and/or those of unpublished poets. The Neglected Poets pages are generally for quality poets who have had works published but have suffered critical neglect and appreciation for a variety of reasons. When submitting poems please give the name of the poet, where the work has appeared before (in book, magazine, or website form), and any brief biographical information about the poet and/or poems. Please send all submissions in the body of an email to cosmoeticapoems - at- gmail- dot- com. Please specify in the Subject Line of your email whether the poem is for the Vers Magnifique or Neglected Poets pages (see above for further information). If your poem(s) is (are) accepted, but there are formatting problems, you will be contacted to resend the piece in a standard word processing format (.doc, .txt, etc.).
Essays
Cosmoetica will accept essay submissions on any and every topic, if the writing is of the highest quality, and they are written in English. Vivacity and humor are always welcome. Cosmoetica will sooner post a well-written piece it disagrees vehemently with than a schlockily written piece it agrees with. There are no limits on the length of the essays, although book length pieces are likely too long. Please send all submissions in the body of an email to cosmoeticaessays - at- gmail- dot- com. Please specify in the Subject Line of your email whether the essay is a Byline, S&D, or This Old Poem (see below for further information). If your essay is accepted, but there are formatting problems, you will be contacted to resend the piece in a standard word processing format (.doc, .txt, etc.). Cosmoetica is loath to accept images, for this site is dedicated to the written word, thus its demonstrable lack of 'bells and whistles'. Cosmoetica cannot pay for contributions.
Accepted essays will be indexed and archived. They will be accepted or rejected in toto, appear unedited, and with date of first posting. Multiple and simultaneous submissions are fine. Many Cosmoetica works have appeared elsewhere first, or in venues after their debut in Cosmoetica. Authors, upon republication of a piece originally posted on Cosmoetica, are simply asked to credit Cosmoetica as the place the essay first appeared. Posted essays are copyrighted by the essayist. However, Cosmoetica reserves the right to reprint in full, or excerpt parts of, the essay at any time. Contributor biographies are not necessary, but the contributor will be listed on the contributors page. All posted essays represent the opinions of the essayist alone, not necessarily those of Cosmoetica; although Dan Schneider may add replies, rebuttals, or comments about the essays afterward.
Cosmoetica posts three different types of essays:
Bylines
Bylines are general essays about life, politics, philosophy, and other things.
S&D (Seek & Destroy)
S&Ds are essays about poetica: poems, poets, critics, movements (-isms), theory, etc.
Essays that are positive toward their subject matter will be classified as Seek essays (as in seek this poem/poet/critic, etc. out). Those that are negative toward their subject matter will be classified as Destroy essays (no elaboration needed). Those that are neither positive nor negative will be considered gutless, wishy-washy pussy essays, and not considered for publication, because one of the chief posits of Cosmoetica is that not only is contemporary poetry (and literature in general) in abysmal shape, but it is in such a shape because of the willful and accidental failures of editors, publishers, and especially critics to discern bad poetry (and writing) from good, and propagate the publication and promotion of good works over bad. Here are some of the qualities a Seek & Destroy (S&D) essay should have:
a) Passion- no pussy-assed, 'I'm looking to make my niche in the academy', bland, barely-enthused, recommendations, or humbly apologetic, 'this could be a teensy bit better', rebuking reviews. The critic should advocate his/her position- be it negative or positive.
b) Intellect- do not rely on your heart, but your head. Have a working knowledge of the subject matter at hand. Too many essays that appear (be they in American Poetry Review, Ruminator Review, Rain Taxi, poetry magazines, zines, or websites) manifest their authors' barely having read the work. They are filled with an alarming cluelessness to the specific topic, as well poetry and its history in general.
c) Repetition- avoid it, if possible.
d) Concision- (see Repetition) not necessarily brevity itself, but a desire for pointedness and cogency. Essays about a poem on, say, The Brady Bunch, seem foolish when they devolve into rambling digressions about Marxism, sexually-transmitted diseases, or Joseph Campbellian pseudo-thought. Concision in criticism is as worthy a goal as it is in poetry. Too often critics get so rapt by their own wordplay or genius that the subject of the essay is lost.
e) Clichés- avoid them, as in poetry. You know the critical clichés I mean; the crap that says nothing save 'I hope I can fool some poetic ignorant into believing I know something they don't!' Stuff as: 'his/her poems reveal to us what it means to be socially inviolable in a post-industrial society', 'his/her lines convey, in luminous digressions, what it means for the artist to be true to a mission of life and its truth', or 'honesty shimmers through his/her poems like the first sunrise after Hiroshima.' Such pap will be rejected, ridiculed, and used as a defense in my trial when I seek out and beat you with things wet & rubbery.
f) Quoting- when you quote from a poem or other essay, try to pick appropriate examples, good or bad, and more than a single line. Too often quotes are taken out of context. Context can show why a seeming cliché is redeemed, or why a good image fails in a particular poem. I.e.- do not just say why something works or fails- show how!
Even though his essays are hit and miss, and he lacks knowledge in many areas, a fellow named Erich Vogel had a poetry website that had a flavor S&D essays have: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Parthenon/4942/harshp.html.
TOP (This Old Poem)
TOPs essays about specific poems, and rewriting them to make them better, showing specific reasons for the poems' flaws and specific remedies for those flaws, all with a dash of humor.
US Copyright Code Sec. 107. - Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.

(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;
(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.

Dan Schneider Vs. The Rest Of the World, 1999 City ages Article, via The Wayback Machine
Roger Ebert praises Dan Schneider's Film Criticism and Website:
Ebert calls Dan Schneider 'a considerable critic....'' that Dan Schneider (in regards to Ebert's writings) 'may well be correct in some aspects. What his analysis gives me is a renewed respect and curiosity about his own work....'; he states, 'Dan Schneider is observant, smart, and makes every effort to be fair.' He states, 'I conclude he is more analytical and less visceral that I am,' Ebert ends his praise, stating, 'What is remarkable about these many words is that Schneider keeps an open mind, approaches each film afresh, and doesn't always repeat the same judgments. An ideal critic tries to start over again with every review.' -12/9/09, from 'Who do you read? Good Roger or Bad Roger?', by Roger Ebert
On 9/17/10, Roger Ebert tweeted, 'The Online Film Critics Society is nuts if they think Dan Schneider doesn't qualify.'
Cosmoetica noted in the New York Times: 'Cosmoetica (www.cosmoetica.com): As a poet, Dan Schneider is, by his own humble admission, ''better than Walt Whitman.'' In between writing the poems that will make him immortal, however -- and he's apparently got more than 10,000 of them -- Schneider has found time to offer a few helpful criticisms regarding his fellow poets and reviewers. If you were looking for someone willing to call T. S. Eliot ''1 of the most grossly overrated writers in the history of the world, & the English language,'' Schneider is your man. His site includes similarly jolly commentary on a large number of contemporary writers.'- 10/3/04, from ' The Widening Web Of Digital Lit', by David Orr

PHILOSOPHICAL DISPOSITION
Through the years I have striven to create ways for people to communicate and discourse more effectively via the arts- which are the essence of communication, with poetry being the highest of arts. Unlike most artists, I have never replaced the primary goal of creating great art with the temporal goals of political, religious, nor philosophical action. While art (communication) is the conveyance of ideas and information, it is also- paradoxically- an end unto itself. This realization has enabled me to achieve excellence in my fields. My art is apolitical, irreligious, and aphilosophical. Put simply: when it comes to art I walk the walk, whereas the vast majority of others merely talk the talk.
