Your guide to the mags and rags that rejected the great stories and poems in this issue.

Reading a Coworker's Obituary
by Corey Cook
Rejected by Words Dance. 

The 24 Hour Cock
by
A. Raymond Johnson
Rejected by (take a breath):  Nerve.com, Bridge Magazine, Bloom Magazine, Blithe House Quarterly, The Minnesota Review, McSweeney's, The Land Grant College Review, Ninth Letter, and Third Coast.  I can't imagine looking up the addresses for all of those so I will just do Nerve, which seems to have its address in the title, and Third Coast, since it is right down the highway.

The Man Who Would be Me
by
Bob Knox
Rejected by the Dos Passos Review.

The mind is fertile
by
Ryan Uellendahl
Rejected by "just about every publication he has sent poems to."  That is hard to link to, but here's our attempt.

Pictures at a Reunion
by Paul Hotovsky
Rejected by Agni. 

Dopo che lasci la barra
by
Pedro Marrero, Jr.
Rejected by The Verse Marauder and The Orange Room Review.  The latter is the zine that Corey Cook (see above) and his wife produce.  Though they rejected the wonderful poem we have included here, they showed great taste in accepting this one.
