AGNI: Poetry Submissions

Overview
AGNI is a literary magazine with a long-standing commitment to publishing poetry that challenges and expands the possibilities of the form. The journal seeks work that is intellectually rigorous, emotionally resonant, and formally inventive, reflecting a curatorial vision that values both tradition and experimentation. Submissions are read year-round from September through May, but the final deadline for this cycle is December 15, 2026. The magazine welcomes a broad spectrum of poetic modes, including free verse, blank verse, visual poetry, prose poems, shaped or concrete poems, and formal or structured poetry. There are no word-count limits, though the editors note that space is at a premium and length can influence decisions. Poets are invited to submit up to five poems in a single document, with page numbers included. The $3 fee supports the journal's operations and is a standard practice for many literary publications. AGNI's editorial approach is discerning and literary, prioritizing work that demonstrates craft, originality, and a distinctive voice. The journal has a history of publishing both emerging and established poets, and its pages are a testament to the vitality of contemporary poetry. This call is an opportunity for poets to place their work in a respected venue that reaches a dedicated readership of writers, critics, and enthusiasts.
