Passages North, a literary magazine with a longstanding commitment to contemporary writing, seeks poetry for its annual print issue and ongoing online supplement. The journal publishes original fiction, poetry, short-shorts, nonfiction, and hybrid pieces, and maintains a reading period for poetry that typically runs from September 1 through April 15, though the current call remains open until May 2, 2027. Submissions are free, reflecting the magazine's dedication to accessibility and broad engagement with writers at all stages of their careers. While contributors are not offered monetary payment, the magazine provides two copies of the issue in which their work appears and promotes contributors' work through its social media platforms. This model underscores a reciprocal relationship: the journal promises to treat submissions with care and to advocate for its contributors within its network. The editorial team reads with an eye for work that resonates with the magazine's established aesthetic—literate, emotionally precise, and formally aware—as evidenced by the writing featured in past issues. The curatorial vision of Passages North is rooted in a tradition of literary excellence and inclusivity. The magazine welcomes submissions from everybody and encourages poets to familiarize themselves with its genre guidelines to understand the range of work it publishes. By maintaining a no-fee submission policy and a generous reading period, Passages North positions itself as a vital venue for poets seeking a thoughtful, engaged readership and a place in a well-regarded literary annual.
