We value the time and creative strength of each writer who submits work to Delmarva Review. For that reason, all submissions are read by more than one editor. We receive a large number of quality submissions, so the deliberative process takes time. We wish we had the space to publish all the good writing we receive.

Cold Mountain Review

2019-03-09T12:01:21Z

Rjcogburn: /* Standard */

[Unknown rejection: Thank you for your recent submission to ''Cold Mountain Review''. Though we are unable to include your work in this issue, we are glad that you gave us the opportunity to consider it. We wish you success in placing your work elsewhere. Thanks again, The Editors]

Journal description (2017):

"''I wanted a good place to settle:
Cold Mountain would be safe.
Light wind in a hidden pine –
Listen close – the sound gets better.''

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.

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,

''Men ask the way to Cold Mountain
Cold Mountain: there’s no through trail.''

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

''Try and make it to Cold Mountain.''"

2018
Thank you for your submission. We appreciate your interest in the Humber Literary Review, and are thankful for your support.

We frequently receive more work than we are able to publish, so have to reject more work than we accept. Unfortunately, we are going to decline your submission at this time.

The Humber Literary Review—one of the newest literary magazines in Canada—has a mandate to publish emerging writers. Choosing poems and prose for an upcoming issue is an intense process that involves many discussions among our editorial staff. On occasion, we have to pass on submissions that are polished and publishable because we have already received many that fit well together to make for a cohesive issue. This is the part of putting together the magazine that we dislike the most: sending out the rejection letter.

Regrettably, rejection is an integral part of every writer’s life. Trust us: as editors, as fellow writers, as human beings, we are familiar with the discomfort and distress rejection can cause.

We believe rejection to be a blip on the writing path, a paper badge of honour on the way to achieving your goals. We hope that you feel the same and will continue writing and submitting your work—to us and to others. We wish you every success in this lofty aim.

Kind regards,
The editors of HLR
