I got a follow up message from the thoughtful editor and chef of Mid-American Review. I asked about how well my poem did and the editor thankfully replied! The O.G rejection was electrically signed by the main editor which means that my poem came out of the flush pile!
"Sorry about that, Writer. There are two different schools of thought about that -- some people want a simple yes or no and resent feedback! I always try to play it safe. I did enjoy the piece, and you made it to the discussion phase. Hope this helps! :)"

You'd think with only 14 entries, they wouldn't even bother creating a form rejection. Why not write a short note to each rejectee?
