2 poems accepted by a new journal dedicated (one hopes) to "art brut"!

Jefferson Carter

dedicated minor poet
Good news this morning! Now I got to tell all those other places I submitted to they're out of luck! Oh, well. . .

Dear Jefferson,
We’re beyond excited to let you know that your poems, "F-Bomb Alert!" and "Ayn Rand in Heaven," have been accepted for publication in Wailing and Gnashing! Cue the confetti made from torn-up first drafts and late-night existential crises.

Your poems hit us in that place behind the ribs where good art lingers. They felt honest and alive, and are exactly the kind of work we started this journal to celebrate. We created W&GN as a space where all corners of the poetic world could bump shoulders and share the page: the polished and the raw, the quiet and the unhinged, the academic and the slam-drenched. Your work belongs here.
 
Fucking Great, Jefferson! Congrats! W&G seems a most "Salt Soaked" press! What a terrific acceptance letter!
