Things I Regret in 2024: Paying to Play

Earlier this year, I submitted work to a poetry publication. As they did last year, when my work was seemingly passed over without them ever commenting, the requested a donation. 

This time, I gave the donation. They published my piece hours afterwards. 

This month, I submitted again. My piece (timely) was again seemingly passed over with no comment.  

It's sad because a colleague I respect is pretty synonymous with this publication. 

I will likely never submit again. And I won't link their page regardless of who's on it.
