About
Founded in 1921, THE LYRIC is the oldest magazine in North America in continuous publication devoted to traditional poetry. We use rhymed verse in traditional forms, for the most part, with an occasional piece of blank or free verse. Our themes are varied, ranging from spiritual ecstasy to humor to raw grief, but we feel no compulsion to shock, embitter, or confound the readers. We also avoid contemporary political or social problems –- grief but not grievances, as Frost put it. Frost is helpful in other ways: if yours is more than a lover’s quarrel with life, we’re not your best market. And most of our poems are accessible on first or second reading. Frost again: don’t hide too far away.
