Got Poetry? Experimental Chapbook Series

A project of Milk Carton Press (see other related projects).

This project is believed to be defunct. (December 2022)

About

When we say "experimental" we mean it. We want something we've never seen before. For questions about our style, please read some of our collections. More references: think beat, bohemian, wild, at times prophetic, venturing into absurd, yet also naked and vulnerable and sincere. We like quiet moments as well as housefires. Some poets we love (in no particular order): Frank Stanford, Hera Lindsay Bird, Brenda Hillman, Li-Young Lee, Maggie Nelson, Tommy Pico, Zachary Schomburg, Hanshan, Yusef Komunyaka, Li Bai, Mathias Svalina, Jennifer L. Knox, Gary Snyder, PW Covington, and many more.

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions. (Note: About 14% of publishers always charge fees.)

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • For book publishers, it is standard to submit a cover letter, synopsis, and sample instead of the full manuscript. Do this unless otherwise instructed.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
