$ — Poetry Is Currency — Submissions
Overview
Poetry Is Currency operates as a literary magazine with an open, rolling submissions policy. The publication invites writers working in poetry, fiction, and nonfiction to submit their work for consideration. While the magazine's name foregrounds poetry, its stated genres indicate a broader literary scope, encompassing narrative and essayistic forms alongside verse. The absence of a submission fee—or, at minimum, the lack of publicly confirmed fee information—suggests an accessible entry point for writers at various stages of their careers. The rolling deadline removes the pressure of a fixed window, allowing submitters to present work when it is ready rather than according to an external calendar. This model can indicate a editorial stance that values sustained reading and ongoing discovery over periodic contests. As a literary magazine, Poetry Is Currency likely seeks work that demonstrates formal control, intellectual curiosity, and a distinctive voice. The title itself implies a concern with value, exchange, and the economies of language—themes that may resonate across genres. Writers should consider how their submissions engage with the possibilities of literary expression, whether through line, sentence, or argument.
