Dear —,

Thank you for submitting "Poetry Submission" to The Malahat Review.

We are unable to accept your work for publication this time around.

We are sorry that we are not contacting you with better news, and also to be notifying you by way of a form letter — the sheer (and increasing) number of submissions makes it impossible for a small magazine (reliant on volunteer labour) to respond personally to all submissions.

Thank you for thinking of the magazine as a good home for your writing. We wish you success in placing your work elsewhere.

The Editors

The Malahat Review acknowledges with respect the Lkwungen-speaking peoples on whose traditional territory the University of Victoria stands, and the Songhees, Esquimalt, and WSÁNEĆ peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
