About the magazine

Poetry Super Highway is an online poetry publisher founded in 2000 by Rick Lupert. It began as a daily email list distributing a single poem to subscribers and has since evolved into a multifaceted platform that includes themed anthologies, the Poetry Super Highway website, and the long-running Poetry Super Highway Podcast. The organization's core mission is to democratize poetry by providing accessible, no-fee submission opportunities and a global readership for poets at all stages of their careers. Its anthologies, such as the annual 'Poetry Super Highway' print collections, often respond to contemporary social and political themes, reflecting a commitment to poetry as a public and participatory art.

Editorial focus

The mission of the Poetry Super Highway is to expose as many people to as many other people’s poetry as possible. There are no content or style restrictions. They publish a wide variety of styles, form, and otherwise. Read past issues for an idea of the range.
