Your gift-paper idea is great for kid's desks next-grade surprise. We've also used butcher wrap or freezer-paper (shiny side up) decorated with fave stickers, photo-reprints, hobby icons, and past year's presents gift-wrap scraps and icon confetti to keep it fun.

No plans yet to teach this class again at KSW. But, yes, I will post if something is scheduled. You might want to try SF Center for the Book; I think they have one coming up in the summer.

Please find it enclosed. You can keep it. As a writer, it’s hard enough to face getting rejections without having them made into a joke. The least you can do is not be glib. Perhaps some of you have forgotten what it’s like to send your work out and to hope and trust that it will be thoughtfully read and considered by the journals and magazines you send to. Perhaps publication has come easily for each of you, or perhaps you think other people should adopt a bullshit, disaffected posture where we all pretend we’re too cool to care if we get published or not. What I write matters to me. Anyone submitting to you should be treated with respect. I’m sure you’ll be cutting down on the number of submissions you receive with this juvenile approach. I’ll be saving my work and my postage for publications with more class. Many happy returns, KC Trommer Corrine Clegg Hales, Tim Skeen, and Brian Turner, Poetry Editors

Dear Ms. Hales, Mr. Skeen, and Mr. Turner:

I received your sticker in the mail today: “I was rejected by The Normal School.” It’s obnoxious and it’s rude. Please find it enclosed. You can keep it.

As a writer, it’s hard enough to face getting rejections without having them made into a joke. The least you can do is not be glib.

Perhaps some of you have forgotten what it’s like to send your work out and to hope and trust that it will be thoughtfully read and considered by the journals and magazines you send to. Perhaps publication has come easily for each of you, or perhaps you think other people should adopt a bullshit, disaffected posture where we all pretend we’re too cool to care if we get published or not.

What I write matters to me.

Anyone submitting to you should be treated with respect. I’m sure you’ll be cutting down on the number of submissions you receive with this juvenile approach. I’ll be saving my work and my postage for publications with more class.

Many happy returns,
KC Trommer

]]> Comment on Rejection. Ooh, a sticker! by Sasha Pimentel Chacon http://www.linocat.com/2008/05/rejection-ooh-a-sticker/comment-page-1/#comment-57 Sasha Pimentel Chacon Fri, 06 Jun 2008 19:37:57 +0000 http://www.debbieyee.com/?p=327#comment-57 Hi Debbie, That's a great rejection. I got a nice rejection from them too. A funny rejection, catering to the care-bears in our bodies, is better than a no-response-mail-day, any day. I always sort of celebrate rejections: in a way, just the physical energy of that little note moving place back to us as our poems have moved geography to them-- it's kind of exciting, opening up that thin envelope and receiving that. After all, acceptances mostly just come in the more-boring email now, don't they? (The more exciting ones are by phone), but they're just electronic bits of information, 0s and 1s while those rejection slips are palpable. But we should definitely submit again-- I think they're really trying to do a dynamic thing, blurring genres in this litmag. The editors are all very good people. Un abrazo from your facebook friend, Sasha Hi Debbie,

I always sort of celebrate rejections: in a way, just the physical energy of that little note moving place back to us as our poems have moved geography to them– it’s kind of exciting, opening up that thin envelope and receiving that.
