Be brave. Send me the stuff that you never thought would get published anywhere. Send me the thing you have to take a deep breath over before submitting or running by your critique group. I'm always interested in hearing different viewpoints from different sectors of society, and work in different forms, too: I'll read lyrical essays; experimental essays; narrative nonfiction.

In each submission, I am looking for a single, exquisitely written poem that surprises, challenges, and moves the reader. Please send a range of work rather than linked poems or poems that require extensive context to be best appreciated. I am interested primarily in poems in the lyrical, formal, and narrative modes.
