I got a really nice poetry rejection recently. An editor is putting together a collection of poetry on the theme "Exhaustion." They said that they liked my "Domestic Goddess Lament" and it had survived several cuts, but with 500 submissions and space for only a handful of poems, they finally had to pass on it. Well, I was happy to know how far it had gotten, rather than receive a "Dear Author...does not suit our needs at this time" email.
