Got a rejection letter from the American Scholar saying that they had received my poetry submissions which, “we have read with pleasure” but that they couldn’t publish me because they were currently not accepting new poetry submissions.
Which is a lot better I suppose than receiving a letter that says, “Hey pal, you kinda suck...”
(I’ve never received a rejection letter that says, “you suck,” or “you stink,” or “you’re no good,” but just give it a little time. It’s sure to happen sooner or later.)
