We don't completely disagree. My experience is that journals know what they want (at least where I submit), but in any particular issue, there are issues. Maybe it's late (more often than not), or, whatever. I've never been discarded after an acceptance. So maybe I was meek about it in the first place, but I learned not to panic. But, as I mentioned, had I not pressed about a lost response to a particular accepted poem, not sure how that would have worked out.

I had a poem that was accepted for Light Quarterly but never appeared before the print journal folded. I think it was just an oversight, though, since they had about six of my poems in the hopper and the rest of them did appear.
In general, though, I've observed that writers have been trained somehow to think it is rude or pushy to communicate with editors, and they seem afraid of angering them somehow if they contact them. In my experience, however, editors are not at all bothered if you are not a nagging and unreasonable crackpot, but you have a reason to contact them and you do so politely.

I love that journal issues have their own issues
Mark, I would definitely send a polite inquiry -- it's totally appropriate to do so. Good luck!

Mark, I went and asked Rob.
They are typesetting that issue right now and hope to have it to the printer in a few weeks. So maybe early March, I would think, for shipping.
BTW, Kudos on your poem!

Never mind. Not important. Congratulations again, Mark.
