Dear [name],

We regret to say that with much reservation we must pass on your submission. Please know that your piece was among the finalists for our next issue, and that it was a difficult decision to narrow our submissions down, there being so many strong poems.

We hope you’ll consider sending us more of your work in the future and apologize if you had to wait any extended period to hear about your piece.

Sincerely,

Fugue
