Southern Humanities Review has long served as a venue where literary craft meets the broader concerns of the humanities. Published in print, the journal maintains a tradition of editorial seriousness that places it alongside the most durable quarterlies in American letters. This limited free submission period for poetry reflects that institutional character: access is extended without a reading fee, but the standard of selection remains unchanged. The journal's stated interests—literary essays, creative nonfiction in its many sub-genres, and scholarly work directed to a general humanities audience—signal a curatorial disposition toward writing that is intellectually substantive without being insular. Poetry submitted here enters a conversation with that broader editorial program. The journal explicitly welcomes translations when accompanied by PDF scans of the original and written permission from the copyright holder, indicating a genuine openness to work that moves across languages and traditions. What the journal offers is publication in print, within a legacy of humanities-focused editing. There is no prize attached to this call, and no fee. The terms are straightforward: one submission at a time, a response before further work is sent, and a firm prohibition on AI or LLM tools in the creation of submitted work. For poets who value a readership grounded in the humanities and an editorial process that treats writing as intellectual labor, this window is worth noting.
