He was David among the Goliaths, coming into battle rather late, and he wanted the best slingshot. He got it. Lockwood devised a modus operandi that continues to this day. Instead of soliciting work to come in and be read through a hierarchy of readers, a poetry board was selected, not as an advisory body but as a working one. Each member of the board was a reader; the poet was subjected to the direct appraisals of the board members. They were primary readers, with no gobetweens. Lockwood never read any of the work before sending it on.

Nor did anyone else. The board, to this day, remains solely responsible. Ammons and James Tate. There are as many as to submissions every year, and each board member reads them all, then sends the batch on to the next member.

The press has never published fewer in any year, even under stringent financial pressure, and this year it is issuing six volumes.

This when, as everyone knows, budgets are tight in higher education. Not bad. The university press in general has special distinction, with its feet in two worlds. As a university department, it is run by a director, not by an editor in chief, a simple switch in nomenclature. Most university presses are publishers of scholarly and serious nonfiction, addressing themselves mainly to the academic community and the informed layman.

Often a university press will assume the function of a regional voice; for example, the press of the University of Oklahoma is a specialist in North American Indian lore, while the University of North Carolina deals in folklore. This even crosses, although accidentally, its poetry list. There are two Connecticut poets in the poetry program: Robert B. But regional interest has no true impact on the selection of the poetry.
