Folio has accepted my poem "Among the Cannibals" for their spring issue. I'm really excited about this one!

I keep getting rejections that tell me my work made it to the final round of cuts or that I was in the top group but just didn't quite squeak in. I feel like Maxwell Smart: missed it by that much.
