Inroads: Journal of the Male Soul is a magazine dedicated to poetry and prose poetry that engages with the interior lives of men. The journal's aesthetic is informed by poets such as Mary Oliver, Robert Bly, William Stafford, and Wendell Berry—writers whose work is marked by wild imagery, imaginative leaps, and insights that open into deep channels of connectedness and grounding. The editors express a particular interest in spiritual poetry in the vein of Rumi and Hafez, while acknowledging the difficulty of executing such work effectively. They explicitly state a lesser interest in confessional poetry, signaling a preference for work that reaches beyond the personal toward the archetypal or transcendent. As a publication, Inroads offers poets a venue for work that might be overlooked by mainstream literary journals, which often prioritize confessional or experimental modes. The journal's focus on the male soul suggests a curatorial vision that is both specific and expansive: it invites explorations of masculinity, spirituality, and the natural world, but resists reductive or polemical treatments. The editors value craft and depth, and they seek poems that resonate with what Bly called 'leaps of imagination'—work that surprises and moves the reader through image and insight rather than through anecdote or self-disclosure. Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis, and there is no fee to submit. This open-access policy reflects a commitment to accessibility and to the ongoing conversation around gender, spirituality, and poetics. The journal does not offer monetary prizes or publication in print (it is online), but it provides a platform for voices that might otherwise remain outside the mainstream. For poets whose work engages with the sacred, the natural, and the mythic, Inroads represents a considered and discerning home.
