I’ve been purchasing copies of and subscribing to as many experimental-friendly poetry journals as I can afford.

I’m attempting to find some good journals to send some essays and poetry that I've compiled while working towards my MFA. Because of a comment on this site, I learned about Jacket, an online literary journal edited by John Trantner. I spent my lunch hour reading criticism from the latest issue. The quality of the journal (from this reader’s perspective) is the same (or better) than is found in the print literary journals I have purchased. Also, it appeared from the contributor bios, that there are some heavy-hitters there.

I have two (maybe three questions): (1) Are there many of these online literary journals with the same quality as Jacker? (urls please) (2a) What’s their perceived status? (2b) Should beginning authors start by submitting to these journals or only after they have been rejected by the bigger name print lit journals?

Thanks in advance -- oh here's a _link_ to Jacket:
