Unbroken Prose Poems A project of Ambidextrous Bloodhound Productions (see other related projects). About Unbroken is an online journal that seeks to showcase prose poems and poetic prose, both from established and emerging voices. We desire to give the block, the paragraph, the unlineated prose, a new place to play. Want more insight into the editors' preferences? Read our interview with the editor(s).

More ApproachableUnbroken's overall acceptance rate is higher than most magazines. More ResponsiveUnbroken's overall rate of non-response is lower than most magazines. Poetry Open We seek prose poems and poetic prose. (We do not publish lined poetry.) Both traditional and innovative works are welcome. We want dark and disquieting, we want fanciful and funny, we want surreal and surprising. We want stunning and unusual imagery, and language that compels. The editors of Unbroken seek poetic prose and prose poems that transcend the boundaries of conventional story-telling. Of course, we believe that submissions should be coherent and intelligible, but also that coherence can be achieved through style, tone, imagery, and even transgressive methods. Linear narratives with predictable situations and language will be discounted. We want prose that smolders in the ditch.Dates:Open to poetry submissions through 15 September 2026* (approx. 9 days from now).1Audience:Open to a broad Audience.Genres: General Open to all/most SubgenresLengths: Poem: No line limits known.Poetry Forms:Prose poetry.Styles:Open to all/most Styles, including: Literary.Topics: Open to all/most Topics including...
