A New Service and Policy
Your poems, whether accepted or returned, will be commented upon - publicly if accepted and privately if returned; the same goes with other submissions in fiction, creative nonfiction, and other. Please remember that this is just a Five Willows bias; it in no way reflects the quality of your writing.
