Call for Poetry Submissions on Theme of "From the Spiritual to the Sacred": Poetica Magazine

Our editors seek works that courageously acknowledge, challenge, and celebrate modern life, while embracing spirituality and exploring the divine, regardless of cultural or religious background. We look for accessible poems that infuse fresh perspectives into age-old traditions and address the pressing issues of our time through a lens of faith. Our evaluation is based on the writer's mastery of language, capacity to captivate readers, and depth of meaning.

Poetica Magazine is a globally inclusive literary publication that is freely accessible to all. We take pride in publishing original works by writers from diverse backgrounds, who delve into the complexities of the human experience and our relationship with the divine.

Poetica Magazine is committed to publishing literary works of exceptional merit from both established and emerging writers. As part of our mission to expand our platform and offer more opportunities for writers to showcase their work, we invite you to support us by donating in honor or memory of a loved one. When donating, please include your contact information so that we can properly acknowledge your contribution.
