About the magazine

Radar Poetry is an online platform and annual anthology dedicated to contemporary poetry and poetics. Founded in 2012 by poets and editors committed to expanding the visibility of innovative writing, Radar has consistently provided a space for work that challenges conventional lyric and narrative modes. Its mission is to foster a community of readers and writers through regular online publications, an annual print anthology, and occasional reading events. The organization emphasizes inclusivity and experimentation, seeking to reflect the diversity of voices within the contemporary poetry landscape.

Editorial focus

Radar Poetry currently publishes three issues each year: the Winter Issue, the Summer Issue, and the Conistion Prize Issue. A writer once said, “Great poems make everyone sick.” The editors believe the most successful poems keep you up at night and follow you all day. They might even feel unsettling or unnerving. That’s because great poems make you question everything you thought you knew. They are looking for work that has that effect on us.
