Thank you for your interest in Smartish Pace and for allowing us to read your poems. Unfortunately your poems were not selected for publication. We hope that you will consider sending poems to Smartish Pace again in the future (please note our policy of 1 submission per year; though you may also enter our contests) and support our independent publication by ordering our new issue or a subscription.

Maybe Letters - #1

Dear Jake Kilroy,

I'm very sorry that it's taken us forever to respond to your submission. We've been slogged with online submissions, and in fact have closed the gates until January 2010.

I'm also sorry to say that your poems weren't a good fit for us. We wish you the best of luck in placing them elsewhere.

Warm wishes from New Orleans,

Mark Yakich
Poetry Editor
