Dear (Poet),

Thank you very much for submitting to Rogue Agent. We consider it a privilege to have read your submission, and we understand that the writing, revising, and submitting process is hard work. Unfortunately, while we found (1st poem of 5 submitted) was compelling, we must ultimately pass on these poems. Best of luck placing your work elsewhere.

Respectfully,

Jill Khoury
Editor, Rogue Agent
