We only accept previously uncurated work. Please refer to this article for a more in-depth understanding of what that means.
We love cover letters and would prefer knowing whose work we are reading. We care about your identity. You are welcome to share your publication history, if any, though that would not influence our decision. Though please make sure that the document of your poems is stripped of any biographical information—use the cover note field for this.
We encourage simultaneous submissions. Feel free to submit your work to all the wonderful places you think will be a good home for your poems. You need not withdraw your poems if they get accepted elsewhere — if we like your work, we’ll find a way to work with you.
We like EB Garamond, 13 point font-size, and 1.15 line-spacing. If you are submitting prose poems (which, we repeat, we love) please justify your paragraphs. If you are unable to use our preferred formatting because of technical reasons, that is totally fine.
If we have previously declined your submission, you can submit again the following month.
We are open to translations as long as you have the rights from the author/publisher.
We generally respond within 6 weeks.
We offer $55 to all our poets. This is per contribution and not per piece. We are looking into various fundraising options so we can increase this amount. We are committed to putting poets first, so this is of utmost importance to us! If you want to help us in our efforts, please consider donating.
We nominate for the Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net.
