Sugar House Review

2018-02-02T20:30:38Z

JoelShowalter: /* Standard */

"In an effort to avoid verbosity, we'll put it succinctly: we love poetry.

Our name is based on both our location and desire to publish sticky, heart-racing, sweet, sweet addictive poetry. Sugar House is a neighborhood within Salt Lake City. It was named after the sugar beet factory of the Deseret Manufacturing Company which operated in Sugar House from 1851–1855.

We are excited to be some of the first people to see your work and to help the best of that work become available to a larger audience.

Poetry is alive and well."

Dear [Name],

Thank you for submitting [Titles of Poems] to The Journal. Though we decided against accepting your manuscript, we want you to know that we found it particularly compelling. We read every submission with care, and while we can only publish a small fraction of what we receive, the most exciting part of our job is reading such a wide variety of work.
