Here at 2River: December 2003 Archives

Just had a problem with a poem I'd accepted for 2River. Last week the writer said sure, but I just got an email saying the poem had been submitted elsewhere several months ago and had just accepted the poem, too. The writer wanted me to say, sure, it's okay, I won't use it, forget what you said I could, it's okay to let the other place use it. That ticks me off. It's like someone accepting an invitation to a party but but then deciding not to go because a better party came along later. In any case, I chose not to decide. The writer expressed concern about wanting to grow as a poet. Said the more places published the better. Asked me to say, sure, it's okay. I told the writer to make the choice.

Richard--I keep getting this message when I post some writing:

What does this mean?
