About the magazine

Frontier Poetry is a digital-first literary organization founded in 2013 with the aim of expanding the audience for contemporary poetry. Its core mission is to publish and promote work that is innovative, emotionally resonant, and reflective of diverse voices. Through its online journal, chapbook contests, and editorial initiatives, Frontier Poetry has become a vital platform for both emerging and established poets, emphasizing accessibility and community engagement.

Editorial focus

Frontier Poetry is looking for poetry that pushes language forward, for poets and poems that strive to place themselves at the edge of what language can do.

Poets should submit work that demonstrates originality, emotional depth, and a command of language. Frontier Poetry values poems that challenge conventions while remaining accessible. Before submitting, review the journal's aesthetic and guidelines carefully; simultaneous submissions are typically accepted, but notify promptly if work is taken elsewhere. Keep cover letters brief and focus on the poetry itself.

We enjoy poems that have: A thought-out sense of pattern and form. Strong body talk. Strong identity as an object of sound. A generous view of itself. No lazy cynicism. Democratic language.
