PS. Three things you might like to know about our editorial process: (1) We take just as much care with, and spend just as much time on, an Expedited Decision as we do a regular submission. In other words, though we decide quickly, we do not decide hastily. (2) If we decline your work, it is not in any way a reflection of the quality of your work. We do not decide whether a poem is bad or good—that’s not our job. Our job is to decide whether a poem is right for TRP. That’s all we do, and after you’ve read an issue or two, you may have more of a sense of what we publish. (3) We are currently reading hundreds of poems a week. Literally. During our most recent submission period (February 2017), we received 1,947 poems. We had space to accept only 42 -- a 2.1% acceptance rate. Since the competition here is so fierce, we encourage you to send your very best poems. . . . All this is just to say that we are glad to have had the chance to read your work and sorry that it wasn’t right for us at this time, and to shed a little light on our editorial process.<br />

Journal description (2017):<br />
<br />
"''I wanted a good place to settle:<br />
Cold Mountain would be safe.<br />
Light wind in a hidden pine –<br />
Listen close – the sound gets better.''<br />
<br />
In this latest iteration of our 44-year-old literary journal, among the oldest in continuous publication in North Carolina, we’re drawing inspiration from the vision of its founding editor, R.T. Smith. R.T. brought together the mountains of the Appalachian Blue Ridge with the Tiatai Mountains of China when he and his cohorts, Donald Secreast, Jo Anne Eskridge, and Charles Frazier named CMR in 1972 after Gary Snyder’s translations of Han-Shan’s Cold Mountain Poems.<br />
<br />
It’s that cosmopolitan bioregionalism we’re taking forward as we look for writing engaged with our current ecological, social, and economic challenges. A poet of the 9th century Tang Dynasty, Han-Shan has been associated with Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, but he mocked all dogmas, preferring instead the serious mischief of a hermit mountain poet. As Gary Snyder translates him,<br />
<br />
''Men ask the way to Cold Mountain<br />
Cold Mountain: there’s no through trail.''<br />
<br />
Multi-genre and multi-perspective; local, regional, and international; featuring the established, the neglected, and the emerging: Cold Mountain Review aims to recapture strands of its founding vision as well as to offer new and innovating ideas about place, sustainability, writing, and art. Come join us as we create the serious mischief of cultural change. As Han-Shan bids us<br />
<br />
''Try and make it to Cold Mountain.''"<br />
