Rejection Post Withdrawal
Peter Slapnicher
Like a boy dumping a girl after she makes him pull-out, my submission to the Iowa Review has been rejected even after I withdrew it from their consideration.
Note to impressionable minds: this is not an effective method of birth control.
Also: Would a boy actually do that?
And: Is this inappropriate? I don't care. I'm running out of ways to talk about post-withdrawal rejection. You'd think I'd learn my lesson.
