those rejections i listed were balanced off by these acceptances over the past few months:
Fifth Wednesday Journal's inaugural issue – i am now in the process of convincing the editor to put my and Kim Addonizio’s poems on opposing pages, so when they print the issue i’ll feel all that pressing, in a metaphorical way.
New Delta Review (Louisiana State University) – this is a good placement.
Poetry New Zealand – wildsweetone tells me it’s a good journal. i have never seen it first-hand, but the list of poets they’ve printed convinced me to submit. (WSO – this is the one you’re referring too – it will be Issue 36, February ’08)
Pebble Lake Review – i like this journal very much, read it faithfully. looking at the contributors to the last issue gives you an idea of its quality.
Flyway (Iowa State U.) – i also like this one.
Sou’wester (Southern Illinois U.) – the editor went out of her way in the acceptance letter, taking time to talk about the poem and jot down all sorts of comments. such a letter is rare, in my experience.
Nexus (Wright Sate U.) – i’d never seen this journal until they sent me complimentary copies of previous issues along with the acceptance letter. it was recommended by a poet i know from the Midwest. the issues they sent look good to me.
just found out yesterday that a poem of mine was nominated for the 2007 Best of the Net anthology (the link is to the 2006 Table of Contents).
also, i have a new chapbook coming out in the near future. the dates and details are not set yet with the publisher (Main Street Rag).
i'm editing this to add that many of the poems accepted were born here at Lit on the 30/30 thread. i owe a debt of gratitude to many of you for the comments and suggestions you made, both on the threads and in private.
i especially owe such a debt to the dear, departed (from Lit, not the earth) clutching_calliope, who bent over backwards to praise and critique the poem that was accepted by Pebble Lake Review.
