good/bad
Good news: I received my two contributor copies of the Coe Review fall 2007 issue in today's mail.
Bad news: They spelled my name "Roxeanne". On the table of contents and on the poem itself, though not in my bio. Wow, way to completely spoil the awesomeness of getting a poem published.
I should have caught this before--they misspelled it in the acceptance email they sent me in November. Great, now I feel like it's my fault. What the hell, were they not even looking at my letter? Or at the poem, which had my name at the top of it? Or, hey, at my email address, which includes my correctly spelled name?
I have written to them to (politely) express my disappointment and my hope that they will correct the error when the issue is posted to their website.
Argh.
