Poetry Rejections

Dear first-name,

Thank you for sending "[ ]" to The McNeese Review. We appreciate your interest in our journal, and we apologize for the long delay in responding. As you may have heard, our home of Lake Charles was hit by two hurricanes this fall, and on top of the pandemic, it extended our response time significantly. So sorry for your long wait to hear from us. Unfortunately these poems aren't quite right for us at this time.

We wish you luck in finding a home for your work.
