About
RHINO is a literary annual that invites traditional or experimental work reflecting passion, originality, artistic conviction, and a love affair with language. We publish poetry, flash fiction, and translations. We encourage emerging and established writers and want to publish work from throughout the United States and around the world. Submissions are read by multiple editors with various tastes, all looking for quality work. Sometimes we call ourselves “eclectic” in the best sense of the word. We are proud of the content and variety of each issue we publish.
Important: Submit early in the month. They close to submissions when they reach their monthly quota.
