About the magazine

Poetries in English Magazine is an independent literary journal founded in the early 2010s with the aim of showcasing the diversity of contemporary poetry written in English. From its inception, the magazine has sought to provide a platform for both emerging and established voices, with a particular emphasis on work that demonstrates formal innovation and emotional resonance. Its core mission is to publish poems that are accessible yet layered, inviting readers to engage with language in meaningful ways. The magazine appears in both print and digital formats, with a regular submission cycle that attracts a global readership.

Editorial focus

Poetries in English Magazine distinguishes itself from other prestigious literary journals by its nonconformist approach to literatures in English. Each fortnight, it publishes a magazine that is unafraid, iconoclastic, but intelligent. It seeks poetry, fiction, and essays that take risks for sophisticated, urban readers.

Unsolicited submissionsYes

Before submitting, carefully read the magazine's submission guidelines on its website, noting reading periods and any thematic calls. Submit 3-5 poems in a single file, with a brief cover letter that includes your publication history, if any. Simultaneous submissions are generally accepted, but notify the editors promptly if your work is accepted elsewhere. Expect response times of 1-3 months; if you haven't heard back after that, a polite query is acceptable. The editors appreciate poems that are polished, evocative, and free of clichés, and they value diverse perspectives.

We are open to all styles and aesthetics. We are not prudish or puritanical. Our only criterion is quality.
