Pasque Petals, the long-standing journal of the South Dakota State Poetry Society, serves as a vital record of poetic practice rooted in and connected to the state. The publication is a membership benefit, and submission is open exclusively to SDSPS members, ensuring that the journal reflects the voices of its community. This call is for the 2027 edition, with a deadline of February 2, 2027. There is no submission fee. The society seeks up to five poems per member, submitted in a single document with each poem on a separate page. The guidelines emphasize a connection to South Dakota, though this is not a strict requirement; rather, it is a point of consideration for the editorial team. The journal does not accept previously published work, and simultaneous submissions are permitted provided immediate notification of acceptance elsewhere. A brief bio of 50 words or less is requested, highlighting any South Dakota connection. As a membership publication, Pasque Petals is not a commercial contest but a curated anthology that values craft, regional resonance, and the sustained engagement of its contributors. The editorial vision prioritizes work that demonstrates a serious commitment to poetry, whether through formal mastery, thematic depth, or a distinctive voice that speaks to or from the Northern Plains. The journal is a space for both emerging and established poets to share work within a supportive literary community.
