Metonym Literary Journal operates as a blind-review publication, a structural choice that foregrounds the text itself over the author's identity or prior publication history. The journal's editorial protocol requires that no identifying information appear in the manuscript, file name, or document, and works containing personal identifiers are disqualified. This commitment to anonymity positions the journal as a space where the poem's formal and imaginative integrity is the sole criterion for consideration. The journal accepts one to four poems per submission, each under two pages in length. Simultaneous submissions are permitted provided the editors are notified immediately upon acceptance elsewhere. There is no submission fee. The journal also considers fiction and creative non-fiction up to 1,500 words, as well as original artwork and photography, though this call is specifically for poetry. The extended deadline of November 9, 2025, offers additional time for poets to prepare and submit their work. In an era of accelerating artificial intelligence integration in publishing, Metonym has drawn a clear line: it does not accept works generated by AI. This policy reflects a curatorial stance that values human authorship and the particular textures of lived, imagined, and crafted language. The journal's blind-review model and its stance on AI together suggest an editorial vision rooted in the belief that poetry is a human practice, and that the poem should stand on its own, unmediated by biography or algorithmic generation.
