The Last Milkweed Anthology

Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (December 2022). We provide the following information as an archive.

About

Send us poems on, about, over, under, or inspired by milkweed, autumn grasses, autumn leaves, or anything else autumnal in feel or in fact, for a photography / poetry anthology on, of course, the autumn season! Jeffrey Levine will supply the photos. You’ll supply the poems. Please include some element of hybridity in every poem. Interpret that as you will. Fresh work only, nothing previously published.

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions. (Note: About 10% of anthologies always charge fees.)

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. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
