Hooray, Mary! Glad to hear you're classing up the joint.

[Martin Elster]

Congrats, Mary! It takes intrepidity to even submit to a journal such as that one.

[Vera Ignatowitsch]

Congratulations, Mary!

[Don Jones]

We await the publication: one of the few times I will read Poetry magazine.

Kudos!

Julie's comment made me laugh, as she often does. But (whisper it) I actually like a fair bit of the stuff in poetry. And Mary is a good fit there. She's so much more than just a formalist. She goes wherever the words take her.

Dear Max, Maryann, Jayne, Susan, Mark, Ralph, Nick, Nemo, John I, Aaron, Michae F, Bill, Cally, Erik, Michael C, Nausheen, Allen, Rick, Matt, Julie, Martin, Vera, Don:

Thank you all so much!!!

This is my first acceptance to Poetry. I don't know when my poem will appear - I'll let you know. It's a poem with 14 lines, meter, and rhyme!!

Still in shock,
Mary

[Jayne Osborn]

Ah, Mary. You've gorn and beaten me to it! I had imagined, with so many of us sending our congrats to you, that you'd have thanked everyone en masse.

So there I was, poised to write:

"C'mon, Mary, ...it's Max, Maryann, Jayne, Susan, Mark, Ralph, Nick, Nemo, John I, Aaron, Michael F, Bill, Cally, Erik, Michael C, Nausheen, Allen, Rick, Matt, Julie, Martin, Vera and Don."

Spoilsport!

Mary, this calls for a drink. To your honor, I will right now have a brandy! (My scotch is gone.)

The first time I paid attention to Poetry was when I first stumbled on an issue with A. E. Stallings's work, and fell in love with her poetry.

Good for you!

Sincerely,
PM

14 lines with metre and rhyme. I'm sure there's a name for that...

Yaay! Even cooler!

[Catherine Chandler]

Wonderful news!
