“Hi Steven,
We haven’t heard from you in a while. We were a big fan of your “There is no wrong side of the tracks” story, especially the poem in the story itself.  We are currently running a poetry focused issue and were wondering if we could use your poem independently and publish it as a self-standing piece?”
