We are excited to consider your work. Please note the following guidelines:

  • 3-5 poems, all in the same file—.doc, .docx, or PDF.
  • Simultaneous submissions are encouraged. Do let us know if your work is accepted elsewhere. Withdraw your submission via Submittable, or if it is a partial withdrawal, let us know on Submittable's notes feature. Do not email us.
  • Please wait to hear back from us before submitting again. 
  • Please do not withdraw your work to resubmit a revised version. All poems should be in their final state when you send them out.
  • It is a good idea to read our most recent issue before submitting in order to get a sense of the sort of poetry we tend to like.

We welcome previously unpublished work from writers of all backgrounds and identities, particularly including people of color, LGBTQIA+ people, people with disabilities, members of religious minorities, people outside the United States, and all others whom traditional publishing has historically excluded.

Thank you! We look forward to reading your work.

We use Submittable to accept and review our submissions.
