Black Fox Literary Magazine is a print publication that positions itself as a home for quality poetry. The magazine's submission call is deliberately unadorned, emphasizing craft over thematic constraints. With a reading period extending to December 1, 2026, and no submission fee, the journal offers an accessible point of entry for poets whose work aligns with its print format. The magazine's guidelines are precise: up to three poems in a single document, formatted in Times New Roman 12 pt., with the poet's last name and page number in the top right corner of each page. The 6x9 page size of the print issue means that poems with particularly long lines may not be suitable. Accepted contributors receive $20, a modest but symbolic acknowledgment of their work. The curatorial vision here is one of restraint and respect for the reading experience. By asking poets not to submit work that isn't ready and noting that no changes can be made after receipt, Black Fox signals a commitment to finished, considered poems. This is not a venue for rough drafts or experimental fragments, but for poetry that has been polished to its final form.
