Disco Kitchen — Volume 4 Poetry Submissions
Overview
Disco Kitchen Magazine is a literary publication that brings together poetry, fiction, nonfiction, art, and experimental work. Volume 4 continues this interdisciplinary tradition, offering poets a space within a broader creative conversation. The magazine's approach suggests a curatorial interest in work that engages with the unexpected, the playful, and the formally adventurous, as implied by its name and its openness to experimental submissions. The submission parameters for poetry are clear: a maximum of five poems. This limit encourages poets to present a focused and cohesive selection, allowing the editors to assess a distilled body of work. While the magazine accepts various genres, the poetry section is a distinct component, and poets are invited to contribute to the evolving identity of Volume 4. A reading fee of $3.00 (USD) applies to submissions. This fee supports the magazine's operations and is a common practice among independent literary journals. The deadline for submissions is November 1, 2026. Poets should note that the magazine does not specify a prize or payment for publication; this is a non-paying market, and contributors should submit with that understanding. The editors have provided an email address for questions, indicating a willingness to engage with submitters.
