Well, nothing new. Stylus, the official literary magazine of UMCP, rejected my submissions once again. When the same thing happened two years ago, I sat in a study lounge on the 7th floor of Ellicott Hall and cried my eyes out. Today, I don't feel hurt by it. I feel sad - it would have been nice to have something published before I graduated from here, but I guess that's not going to happen. However, my love for poetry really does heal all these little wounds I acquire at times like these.
I turned in 5 poems, all of which are on this blog. "Hero," "Restless," "Page 89," "Severance," and "Vestiges." The former three have been rejected thus far, so I'm not expecting the staff to like the other two. Wellllllll... hopefully I have readers on here, because I really do feel honored to have caring eyes fall on my work. In the end, I can't publish that feeling of gratitude anywhere - except in my heart.
Yes, I'm cheesy. Get over it ;)
Love,
Gowri
