About

What We Seek: Free verse, lyrical poetry, or flash fiction that carries a strong narrative. We want things that do things that result in new things. We want small vignettes of life. We want situations. Stretch the parameters of the proverbial envelope. Unique and interesting forms and mixing genres is certainly encouraged, but straight up verse or prose is encouraged as well. With regard to subject matter, we're open to anything from fishing trips to lovemaking, but please no porn or gore. Poets we like include Stephen Dobyns, Richard Hugo, Kim Addonizio, Sharon Olds, Charles Simic, Bob Hicok, Mary Oliver, Larry Levis, Jack Gilbert, Carolyn Forche and Allison Joseph.

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions.

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.
