Whiptail Journal of the Single-line Poem This project is on indefinite hiatus. Check their site to find out whether this is a submission and/or publication hiatus. (January 2026) About In the summer of 2021, when we decided to start a journal devoted to one-line poems, it stemmed largely from our perceived need to provide a consistent home for quality one-line haiku. There seemed to be a wide gap between published haiku that were merely tercets written on one line and single-line poems that were so overly complicated that they alienated many readers who deemed them, and all one-line haiku, as inherently “experimental.” We desired a venue for reading varied collections of poems that utilized a single-line format as an integral part of their movement and meaning, from the eloquent to the richly complex. As we didn’t find what we were looking for ourselves, we created it.
