We're grateful to have had the chance to read your work, but we've ultimately decided it's not quite a fit for us.

Thanks so much for considering us and supporting our magazine. We hope for all the best with your future work.

Thank you very much for submitting to the Raleigh Review. We read your work and, unfortunately, decided to pass on these poems.

We're writers ourselves so we get the insincerity that comes with form rejections. What we're about to say is meant to be sincere: we want you to know that every poem submitted to us gets read by at least four staff members and we're always two of them.

We appreciate you thinking of the Raleigh Review and letting us consider your poems. Don't give up on us. Please try us again. Most of those we've published have submitted numerous times.
