Puerto del Sol: Poetry — General Submissions

Overview
Puerto del Sol, a literary magazine with a storied history, seeks poetry that is both innovative and polished. The journal's editorial vision is shaped by a rotating staff, ensuring that each reading period reflects fresh sensibilities while maintaining a commitment to work that moves and transforms. They are interested in poetry that surprises, that unsettles, and that leaves the reader with a renewed sense of self or world. The magazine has a particular affinity for multilingual work and has published translations, signaling an openness to voices that traverse linguistic boundaries. Submitters are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the journal's archives to understand the range of work they have championed. The absence of a submission fee underscores a dedication to accessibility and to prioritizing the work itself. This call is for poets who are ready to present their final, polished drafts—work that is not a work-in-progress but a finished artifact. The editors seek writing that is daring in form and content, and that demonstrates a mastery of craft. With a deadline of May 1, 2027, there is ample time to refine and submit up to five poems in a single document.
