Kitchen Software operates as a magazine with a focus on poetry, maintaining an open, rolling submission window. This general call reflects an ongoing commitment to publishing poetry without imposing deadlines or fees, ensuring accessibility for poets at any stage of their practice. The absence of a fixed deadline suggests a continuous editorial process, one that values the poem on its own terms rather than adhering to thematic or temporal constraints. The only stated criterion is that the poem must be the poet's own work and that it must move the reader in some way. This deliberately broad mandate places the burden of resonance on the writing itself, not on external prompts or trends. It implies a curatorial vision that prioritizes emotional or intellectual impact over adherence to a particular style, school, or subject matter. The magazine's name, Kitchen Software, hints at a domestic, perhaps experimental or process-oriented ethos, but the call does not prescribe any aesthetic. For poets, this opportunity offers a chance to place work in a publication that appears to value direct engagement between poem and reader. There is no entry fee, no deadline pressure, and no specified length or form. The lack of guidelines beyond originality and affect suggests that the editors are open to a wide range of poetic approaches, from traditional to innovative, as long as the work achieves a genuine connection. This is a call for poems that earn their place through their own force.
