Soundings East, a literary magazine with a longstanding commitment to poetry, opens its reading period to submissions of any style and length, provided individual poems do not exceed two pages. The journal seeks up to three previously unpublished poems per submission, emphasizing a curatorial vision that values both formal and experimental approaches without imposing thematic constraints. This call reflects the magazine's dedication to presenting a diverse range of voices within the contemporary poetic landscape. The absence of a submission fee underscores Soundings East's accessibility and its focus on artistic merit rather than financial barriers. While no monetary prize is offered, publication in the magazine provides poets with a platform to reach a discerning readership and to join a tradition of literary excellence. The magazine's editorial process is selective, and simultaneous submissions are not addressed in the guidelines, but the restriction to one submission per reading period ensures careful consideration of each poet's work. With a deadline of February 1, 2027, this opportunity is suited for poets who have refined a small collection of poems and are seeking a reputable venue for their first or next publication. The online and remote nature of the submission process makes it accessible to poets regardless of geographic location, aligning with Soundings East's mission to cultivate a broad and inclusive literary community.
