Clockhouse: Vol 14 Poetry

Overview
Clockhouse, an independent literary magazine, invites poets to submit work for its fourteenth volume. The reading period is open until November 15, 2026, and there is no submission fee. The journal accepts poetry in both traditional and experimental styles, including prose poetry, signaling a catholic and discerning editorial sensibility that values craft and risk alike. Each submission may contain up to three poems of any length, but each poem must be uploaded as a separate submission. Poets wishing to submit more than three poems may do so only if the poems constitute a thematic unit, which should be submitted as a single entry. This structure suggests the editors are attentive to cohesive sequences and deliberate arrangements, not merely isolated pieces. While no prize or payment is specified, publication in Clockhouse offers a platform for poets to place work within a curated volume. The absence of a fee and the broad aesthetic range make this an accessible opportunity for poets at various stages, though the requirement for separate uploads and the allowance for thematic units indicate a professional approach to submission. The journal’s online and remote nature means geographic location is not a barrier.
