That's how it works. I know of a poet (quite prominent now) who graduated
from LSU and they publish all his poetry books. He is at the U of A now,
and the U of A publishes the poetry books written by his students, grads of
U of A. I guess the students here will get published through the local
Regents Press, etc., etc.,.... it leaves a slime trail like a snail...
