Ever since I started submitting my poems, I've become obsessed with the mailbox. It kind of reminds me of when I was in high school and had church camp pen-pals all over the place. So imagine my disappointment when nothing but bills and flyers have been in my mailbox for at least a week.
Then I check my email...
Harpur Palate just picked up a poem. Yay!
This is my first print journal/journal affiliated with a University pub (outside of journals somehow connected to the NEOMFA), so it feels different. It means that sooner or later, there will be a little book in my mailbox, and my name will be inside it.

Congrats, Sara! Great News.
Yay, Sara! Good magazine!
Hey, congrats.
I was a poetry editor for Harpur Palate, and now I'm associate editor, which basically means they still let me browse the slush pile occasionally. I recognized your name from your blog (which I found a few months ago when I started collecting poetry blogs), and passed the submission along. I really liked your stuff. I didn't know the poetry editors had accepted it!
Also, I got my MA at Kent State a few years ago, so it's nice to know we're publishing someone from that neck of the woods.
Best wishes on your PhD search!
congratulations, miss sara.
congrats :)
Woooohoooo!
Harpur Palate is such a fine mag! Many high fives coming your way.
PS--Which poem?
Congratulations, Sara! That is quite a credit.
Thanks everyone!
Josh, a special thanks to you for passing my work on to the poetry editors! It's nice to know I have someone pulling for me all the way in New York. (and a Kent alum at that. Small world)
That is absolutely wonderful news. I can't wait to says congrats in person, tonight. And I can't wait to find out which poem.
Nice rag. Nice girl. Which poem?
Congrats!
Even though you haven't linked my blog, I will still send congratulations your way.
Yay! congrats girly! On this (v. impressive!) and on your MFA... now on to bigger and better things!
