Indiana Review is a literary magazine with a long-standing commitment to publishing poetry that is formally alert and emotionally precise. Its general poetry section serves as an open reading period, unaffiliated with any single theme or contest, and is therefore a direct conduit to the editors' ongoing curatorial interests. The journal does not prescribe an aesthetic; instead, it seeks work that demonstrates control of language, depth of thought, and a distinctive voice. For poets, this call represents an opportunity to place work in a respected venue that values the poem as a crafted object, not merely as content. The submission parameters are deliberately focused: 3–6 poems, up to 12 pages total, all in a single file. This structure allows the editors to assess a cohesive body of work rather than isolated pieces, and it asks the poet to consider sequence, range, and consistency. There is no prize attached to this general call, and no publication beyond the standard acceptance; what is offered is editorial attention and, for accepted work, inclusion in an issue of the magazine. The $3 fee is a processing cost, not a reading charge in the sense of a contest—it helps sustain the journal's operations and is common among independent literary magazines. The curatorial vision for this reading period is not announced in advance. That absence is itself meaningful: the editors are not looking for poems that fit a predetermined theme or trend. They are looking for poems that surprise, that earn their conclusions, and that reward rereading. Poets should approach this as they would any serious submission—by sending their strongest, most fully realized work, and by trusting that the editors will recognize it on its own terms.
