A project of Belle Point Press

Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (March 2023). We provide the following information as an archive.

About

One of the defining characteristics of both Southern and Mid-Southern experiences involves paradox: the sense of being tethered to deep community, traditions, culture—while also resisting those boundaries or finding ways to make them our own. The places we call home can simultaneously provide a sense of belonging while forcing us to make them new again. Mid/South Sonnets will be a shorter collection that brings together writers and themes from our eclectic region. We welcome both traditional and experimental approaches to the sonnet form.
