Since poetry is a labor of love, I will patiently wait to hear…. in six months to a year. Keep smiling. Keep track of where I have sent out work and when. If by some magical turn of events any of the works are accepted elsewhere, I’ll then know to withdraw them. (Yes, I checked on simultaneous submissions.) Poetry editors seem to be much better about this than they were many years ago.
Have you tried Kenyon Review? I received a lovely rejection from them that included advice on how to improve my poetry. I still think of that rejection fondly.
