Dear Eric,
Thank you for submitting your work to the Crimson Umbrella Review. We have carefully considered your submission, and do not feel that “Answers” is a good fit for CUR at this time. We really liked the idea, but felt it needed a little more development, particularly making the accident a little less subtle (if the poem does describe an accident). If it is an accident, there was also a lack of trauma that could be introduced to make it a little more clear. The subtlety could work well if we just got a little bit more to go off of. We hope that you will consider submitting your work again in the future, whether it be a re-working of “Answers” or other original work.
Best,
The Editors
