We prefer poetry and art set in tactile imagery, with a vividness of local detail: characters, places, and substantive objects. We shy away from the overtly political or environmental. We like a degree of pathos, subtle drama, a touch of Lorca’s “Duende” that loves “ledges and wounds,” and a good use of metaphors and similes. We consider all forms of poetry, including prose poems. Please read the guidelines on our website carefully. Our spring issues are themed. Fall issues are nonthemed.
