SKUMMEL operates as a digital magazine with a clearly articulated aesthetic: work that is dark, unsettling, absurdist, or experimental. The publication does not restrict itself to emerging or established authors, signaling an editorial posture that values the writing itself over biography or career stage. Its stated willingness to consider reprints and simultaneous submissions further indicates a pragmatic, writer-friendly orientation—one that treats the submission process as a professional exchange rather than a test of exclusivity. For poets, the magazine offers publication in an online venue that responds to every submission, typically within two weeks. There is no submission fee. Up to seven poems may be sent in a single file, and anonymous submission is not required. The guidelines explicitly prohibit AI-assisted work, a constraint that aligns with the magazine's evident interest in a distinctly human, disquieting voice. The absence of a prize or monetary award is not unusual for a literary magazine; the value here lies in editorial attention, rapid response, and placement in a journal with a defined and legible sensibility. The curatorial vision is narrow by design. SKUMMEL is not a general-interest poetry magazine. It seeks work that disturbs, defamiliarizes, or operates in the absurdist register. Poets should consider whether their work shares the tonal and formal preoccupations of the pieces SKUMMEL has already published. The magazine's invitation to browse previous issues is not a courtesy; it is the primary due-diligence step for any serious submission.
