Thank you for submitting your work to the Bellevue Literary Review, and for your patience during the very long review.

We appreciate the efforts that have gone into this poem. We considered it strongly, and are sorry not to be able to use it.

We wish you luck in placing this elsewhere, and apologize for the long delay in getting back to you -- we try to have several reviewers for every piece, and unfortunately the turnaround times can add up. We appreciate your patience.
