Dear first-name,

We are sorry to say that your poems were not selected this time, though we are grateful to have had the opportunity to review your work. We found your poems compelling and held onto them until the end, but we simply had more excellent poems than we could use. We hope you will submit new poems to Poetry South for a future issue.

Submission guidelines are available on our website, and we encourage you to read free archived back issues on our website for issues 1-14 to get a better sense of what we publish.

We wish you the best with your writing and hope to see your work again!

Sincerely,

The Editors
