About the magazine
Twyckenham Notes is an online poetry journal founded with a commitment to publishing work that is attentive to language, image, and emotional precision. Operating without a fixed geographic base, it has cultivated a readership drawn to poems that balance craft with risk, favoring clarity over obscurity and resonance over mere cleverness. The journal's ethos is rooted in the belief that poetry should be both accessible and challenging, inviting readers into moments of genuine encounter rather than academic performance.
Submitting your work
Reading periodOpen now
Poets should submit only their strongest, most polished work, as the journal's editors favor poems that demonstrate a clear command of line, image, and emotional arc. Read several recent issues to understand the range of accepted styles, which tend toward free verse with a lyrical bent. Simultaneous submissions are generally acceptable, but notify promptly if a piece is taken elsewhere. Avoid overly experimental or conceptual work that relies on gimmick; instead, send poems that reward rereading through their attention to sound and sense.
