Five Points, a literary magazine with a distinguished history of publishing poetry, fiction, and criticism, opens its reading period for poetry submissions. The journal seeks previously unpublished poems for its Volume 26, number 2 issue and subsequent editions. This call is part of Five Points' ongoing commitment to presenting work of formal and intellectual rigor, and it includes an invitation for poetry translations, reflecting the magazine's international scope. The submission guidelines are precise: each poet may submit up to three poems, each no longer than fifty lines, with a cover letter and name on every page. Simultaneous submissions are permitted, and electronic submissions are the only accepted format. A reading fee of $4 applies, and only one submission per reading period is allowed. The window may close early, so timely submission is advised. While no monetary prize is offered, publication in Five Points carries significant literary weight. The journal's editorial vision favors poems that demonstrate craft, depth, and a distinctive voice, whether in original English or translation. Poets are encouraged to review the magazine's past issues to understand the aesthetic range and critical standards that define its pages.
