Thank you for your submission to the Sewanee Review, and thank you for your patience while you waited on a response from us. In the end, we decided to pass on your work, but we hope you will keep us in mind for future submissions.

We sincerely apologize for your long wait in hearing from us. Part of the delay was due to the strength of your submission--your work received an enthusiastic response from our editorial staff and was forwarded for further consideration. Unfortunately, that review process took far longer than we expected. In the future, should you decide to submit again, you'll find us both eager and far more prompt in our response. Thank you again for your patience, and for trusting us with your work.

Sincerely,
The Editors
