Vallum: Contemporary Poetry

Poetry rejections

Standard

Dear —,

Thank you for sending your poems to Vallum: Contemporary Poetry. After careful consideration of your work and our current theme, our editors did not accept your submission. Please note, this decision does not necessarily reflect the quality of your work. Difficult editorial choices are based on many different factors including the theme for this issue and how it was interpreted as well as our effort to include a variety of styles and voices. When we receive so many excellent submissions, the reason for passing on your work may also be because we reached our limit of accepted pieces.

We wish you luck in placing your work elsewhere and encourage you to submit to Vallum again in the future.

Sincerely,

The Editors of Vallum
