      Hey Blake or Whoever Knows About Poetry,
      Just wrote a poem I’m proud of concerning old English expressions and why they’re not useless (in so many words). Thought it would make sense/might be interesting to send it to 3 AM Magazine (motto: “Whatever it is, we’re against it”) but they don’t accept submissions anymore. Who should I send it to? I’m new to online literary magazines and poetry.
      Peace,
      Stephen

      Does it contain the old English phrase “Rump-fed”? Gigantic only publishes essays that use the term rump-fed.

      Vague but interesting quote. I’m wondering what u are referencing?

      I keep sending MSS when I should not (maybe) so I don’t know.

      Does anyone else obsessively revise, revise, revise after sending something out?

      I mean I can’t stop.

      But maybe this quote is life patience?

      But I feel like Blake doesn’t need patience now. Or maybe he does. But he’s jamming-on-the-1.

      Hit iron while hot?
