I have been very fortunate to have worked with a handful of editors who provided thoughtful responses to poetry submissions, notably to those they rejected. Christopher Fields of Neologism has certainly been one of them, always responding in a timely way and often with specific comments about what was more and less suitable for the journal. “Lamp Black Brogues”, a poem from a (so far uncollected) series addressing clothing, was the first thing of mine to be published there.
