Colorado Review, a longstanding literary journal affiliated with Colorado State University, invites poetry submissions of any style for its print issues. Each issue features the work of 15 poets, providing a curated platform for contemporary verse. The journal's commitment to presenting a diversity of voices is evident in its open aesthetic and the deliberate inclusion of multiple poets per issue. Poets whose work is accepted receive a flat fee of $100, a modest but concrete acknowledgment of their labor. The journal prefers—though does not require—submissions of groups of poems that resonate together, suggesting an editorial interest in cohesive mini-collections. Up to seven poems, totaling no more than 20 pages, may be submitted, and long poems up to 10 pages are welcomed. This openness to extended forms indicates a curatorial vision that values ambition and depth. A practical constraint shapes the journal's format: line lengths are limited to 65 characters, including spaces and punctuation, due to the physical dimensions of the print edition. Work exceeding this limit is unlikely to be accommodated. Additionally, poets published in Colorado Review within the last two years are asked to refrain from submitting, ensuring space for new voices. The reading period closes on April 1, 2027, and a $3 fee is required for submission.
