An editor wrote to me today saying that she'd changed her mind about one of my poems, which had been rejected. That was nice. Nevertheless, the poem -Infirmary- had already been accepted by In Posse.
This was the third or fourth time this has happened to me. The twist on this one was the editor acknowledged having rejected the poem; the other times it was as if they'd never corresponded at all. Has this ever happened to you?

I had the opposite case: poem accepted; wrote a long while later to find out when it would appear; editor asks for a resubmission (as poem and acceptance lost); editor stops responding to inquiries.
Result? Journal on my submission blacklist.
Hi Sarah,
I can't comment on your question but I just re-read all the poems you have posted on your blog and still find each one wonderful.
