Love Affairs at the Villa Nelle

A project of Kelsay Books (see other related projects).

Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (September 2018). We provide the following information as an archive.

About

We are looking for poems about the things—people, scenery, lost puppies and cockatoos, rogue planets and shady vampires, used car salesmen and Hollywood actresses—that you love! All poems must be in a traditional villanelle format— with allowances for minor creative variations. In fact, we want you to be creative. If you send us a villanelle about your lovable cat, dog (or cockatoo), it had better be good!

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
