Submitting your work
Reading periodVaries
Poets should submit only previously unpublished work. The editors appreciate poems that demonstrate a strong command of language, original imagery, and a clear sense of purpose. While there are no strict thematic guidelines, the journal tends to favor work that is accessible yet layered, avoiding overly experimental or formless pieces. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but please notify promptly if your work is accepted elsewhere. Include a brief cover letter with your submission, and allow up to three months for a response. Reading periods are typically open from September to May, and detailed guidelines are available on the website.
