32 Poems

2012-06-10T17:10:22Z

Ccunning: /* Higher Tier */

32 Poems is a semiannual poetry magazine published in April and November. Each issue of this 8" x 5.5" semiannual journal contains 32 poems so you can give intimate, unhurried attention to each. And each issue is easy to carry and inviting to read. The editors of 32 Poems feel that a poem’s publication should not begin its disappearance; it is their mission to promote the work of contributing poets by placing 32 Poems with editors, nominating writers for recognition and prizes, and commending work to widely read online poetry sources. We hope that the comfortable size of 32 Poems and the superb quality of the work therein will furnish an alternative to larger collections and prove attractive to new readers of contemporary poetry.

Thank you for your recent submission to 32 Poems. This batch of poems
wasn’t right for us, but we’re grateful for the opportunity to consider
your work and invite you to submit again in the future. It’s a mixed
blessing that we receive so much impressive verse. We sometimes have to
turn away submissions that we consider exceptionally strong.

Dear [Author],

Thank you for your recent submission to 32 Poems. We really enjoyed [the
poems] ([specific poem] was my personal favorite), but this time around there isn't one that fits just right. We want to let
you know though, how grateful we are for the opportunity to consider these pieces. It’s a mixed blessing that we receive so many superior poems. We sometimes have to turn away work that we consider exceptionally strong. I hope you'll try us again soon.

Thanks again,

David

Crazyhorse was founded in 1960 by the poet Tom McGrath. Since that time, it has published esteemed writers such as John Updike, Raymond Carver, Jorie Graham, John Ashbery, Robert Bly, Ha Jin, W. P. Kinsella, Richard Wilbur, James Wright, Carolyn Forché, Charles Simic, Charles Wright, Billy Collins, Galway Kinnell, James Tate, and Franz Wright. In our pages, you’ll find some of the finest writing being published today: Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winners, Guggenheim fellows, NEA fellowship recipients, and authors with awards from the O. Henry Prize, Pushcart Prize, and Best American anthologies."

Thank you for sending your manuscript "Title of Story," number XXXXX, to us here at Crazyhorse via the online submission manager.

We are sorry this particular manuscript was not selected for publication in Crazyhorse. We hope you will send us another soon, though. We could not publish Crazyhorse without the fine writing submitted to us. While we regret that the large number of submissions we receive makes it difficult for the editors to respond personally, we want to emphasize that an editor personally read your manuscript. Devoted reading is part of the Crazyhorse editorial mission; it is also our own personal one.

If this manuscript was a prize entry: we are sorry this prize entry was not selected for the Crazyhorse fiction or poetry prize or for publication in Crazyhorse. We receive many fine prize entries, so it was a difficult decision to make. Thank you for sending us your manuscript to read, and thank you for supporting the nonprofit Crazyhorse with your entry's subscription. By the end of May we will announce the prize winners and finalists on the Crazyhorse website, by e-mail list, and by SASE if you included one with your entry.
