We crush on poetry of so many variations - poetry that is witty and poetry that is moving, poetry engaged in the world and poetry that couldn't care less; poetry from ironic authors and from those poets who paint strange, beautiful, and exquisite shadow-boxes. Stretch yourself - stretch us. (Paisley Rekdal, Marsha De la O, and C.D. Wright are three among the many thousands of poets we adore. As we've also lately noticed a tendency toward prosey-poetry, we'd love to see more poetry that leans heavily into sound, form, and rhythm.)

Since we're shifting to fees - again, all authors will be paid - we suggest you group your poems in a single submission, up to four at a time. (If any get accepted elsewhere, just shoot us an email as soon as you can.)
