Hayden's Ferry Review is looking for prose, poetry, and visual art that explore the humanity, beauty, and reality of the literary grotesque - the monstrous, the unusual, the abnormal.
Please send to: Hayden's Ferry Review (SS42),
Virginia G. Piper Center For Creative
Writing, Box 875002,
Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ 85287-5002.
Postmark deadline: January 15, 2008
I, of course, won't be sending. I'm tired of being rejected by HFR. The nerve! I've sent twice to them and both times nothing. Not even a scribble on my rejection letter! Why the hell am I promoting their call for submissions?? I should delete this post. It's HFR! Not The Paris Review! And still they reject me! The shame. The horror. I should wear a badge at the next AWP: Rejected Twice by Hayden's Ferry Review. So the ten thousand losers from the ten thousand MFA programs in the country can gleefully mock me and whisper collectively behind my back: Even I was published in HFR!

Eduardo, alas! I share your shame. I too am condemned to wear the REJECTED TWICE button. How will we show our faces at AWP?!
Add me to the list. I stopped sending there years ago.
And I sent months ago and....
didn't even merit a rejection.
nada.
Oh man, I have poems in to them now... Would you make an extra button for me?
I have a rejection *slip* from them. Nice to know it's not just me; does this mean I get a button too? Wait, I don't like going to AWP.
I've never submitted to Hayden's Ferry Review, but I'll think twice now. Or maybe not. I've been rejected three times by Poetry and yet I submit in hope from time to time.
GO SUN DEVILS!
Laters, haters!
A Poet TWICE Published in HFR
*whistles*
Grotesque! I love it! I have a few things that might be right down their alley (or gullets). And if I get rejected, well, it won't be for work I consider beautiful, sublime, uplifting, or other such cloying adjectives. Thanks!
I too share the rejection. Maybe the magazine doesn't really exist? They have only a rejection-letter-into-envelope stuffing machine. I feel I've seen the magazine, but that might just have been the machine rubbing up against me at AWP.
Yes, I am a reject, too. But still I submit. And I've had two books published by ASU's Bilingual Press, no less!
