Sink Hollow: Poetry

Overview
Sink Hollow is a literary magazine dedicated to publishing the work of undergraduate writers. This call is specifically for poetry, and it reflects the journal's commitment to fostering emerging voices at the university level. The submission guidelines are precise: no more than five poems, totaling no more than ten pages, all in a single document. The journal maintains a blind review process, requiring that all identifying features—name, university, etc.—be removed from the submission pages and appear only in the bio. This ensures that each poem is evaluated on its own merits, without regard to the poet's identity or institutional affiliation. The absence of a submission fee underscores Sink Hollow's investment in accessibility and its focus on the work itself. While no monetary prize is offered, publication in Sink Hollow provides a valuable credit for undergraduate poets seeking to establish a presence in the literary community. The journal's editorial vision is to showcase a diverse range of poetic styles and subjects, united by a standard of craft and originality. The blind review process is a testament to the magazine's dedication to fairness and its belief that good poetry can come from any undergraduate, regardless of background or reputation. For poets currently enrolled in an undergraduate program, this is a chance to have work considered by a journal that takes undergraduate writing seriously. The guidelines are straightforward, and the deadline is fixed. The journal does not charge for submissions, and it does not require exclusive rights. It simply asks for poems that are polished, original, and free of identifying information on the submission pages. This is an opportunity to join a community of undergraduate writers and to have your work read by an editorial team that values clarity, precision, and the power of language.
