From Larkin: "I just did some research and the quote
is actually by Shelly Smith, published in June Jordan’s Poetry
for the People: A Revolutionary Blueprint. It is 'Deciding
whom to publish, whose words are important or good or right, whose
message is valuable, is about politics. Self-publishing is about
power, about taking the responsibility to disseminate your words
yourself.'
