Earlier this week, I was asked a pretty ridiculous question: How many poetry submissions (or poems) get rejected by American poetry journals (per year)?
It’s not so ridiculous, I suppose, if you’re just guesstimating an approximation. But then, the person (I’ll let him remain anonymous) went on to ask if I can forward him to a resource that knows the answer if I do not. (And, by the way, he’s already consulted poets.org, pw.org, The NY Public Library, and the Library of Congress.) I’m not surprised he wasn’t able to find an answer, because any answer he could have received would’ve been completely and utterly bogus.
