About the magazine
Rust & Moth is a literary journal featuring imaginative and engaging poetry. They stand on the side of the marginalized and of voices that have not been traditionally heard, and they value work that errs on the side of immediacy, strong images, and heartfelt innovation. The editors love both the vitality of electronic publication and the feeling of holding a quality print edition in hand. They pride themselves on their quick turnaround time from submission to publication, and they encourage you to submit!
