Y'all aren't going to believe this... but it turned out to be a TWO acceptance day! With an acceptance from @LunchTicket1!!! It feels like a lot of hard work paying off at once! (Some needed encouragement to keep going, keep writing, and never give up.)
Bethany Jarmul@BethanyJarmul

After four years & 27 attempts, I have secured an acceptance from Chestnut Review!!! (Their tagline is "for stubborn artists," and I think they mean it! 🤣) My poem "Five Trees Marked for Removal" is forthcoming in their summer issue. I can't wait to share it with you all! 🎉
