Five Points, the literary journal affiliated with Georgia State University, has long been a venue where formal rigor meets a willingness to take risks. Its poetry pages have historically favored work that is attentive to line, image, and the pressures of contemporary life, without succumbing to fashion. This call is for the general poetry section, with a separate portal for translations, indicating the journal's ongoing commitment to both original and translated verse. The guidelines are precise: no more than three poems per submission, each capped at fifty lines, and all work must be previously unpublished in any format. A cover letter is required, and simultaneous submissions are permitted. The reading period is limited to one submission per writer, and the deadline is fixed at December 1, 2026. There is a $4 submission fee, a modest barrier that helps sustain the journal's operations. What the journal offers is publication in a well-regarded university-affiliated review, with a readership that includes poets, critics, and editors. The editorial vision, as evidenced by past issues, leans toward poems that are crafted, resonant, and unafraid of emotional or intellectual complexity. This is not a venue for light verse or trend-driven work, but for poetry that earns its place through attention and care.
