Collapse section Poetry Open Given 149 Review’s dedication to highlighting craft, we want work that is intentional with everything it presents to us. We like poetry with interesting line tension, clear images, thought-provoking soundwork, and creative formal experimentation. Shock us, haunt us, demand that we listen to what you have to say. Inspire us, as writers, to look at the world in a new way. After all, that is what good art does—it transforms us.Dates:Open to poetry submissions through 31 October 2026* (approx. 46 days from now).2Audience:Open to a broad Audience.Genres: GeneralLengths: Poem: No line limits known; 3 - 5 pieces.Poetry Forms:Open to all/most Forms.Styles:Open to all/most Styles, including: Literary.Topics: Open to all/most Topics.Payment:No monetary payment No monetary payment.Submissions:Method: Email.
