Dear Writer,

Thanks for sending your poems to Up the Staircase Quarterly.

Dear NAME,

Thanks for sending your poetry to Up the Staircase Quarterly!

My poetry staff and I enjoyed reading your submission, especially "NAME OF POEM".

I have to make some tough decisions for this issue, and this is one of them. I am declining inclusion of your work in the next issue. I do, however, hope that you keep UtSQ in mind for future reading periods. I would love to read more.

Warmly,

April Michelle Bratten.

Thanks again.
