Annulet

About

Annulet seeks to publish poetry that tracks its material nature, whether in language, subject, or in form, and prose whose sentences stretch toward, or must be parsed as or with, poetics. We like to read texts that live in between these states (especially for prose) as well as poems keening closely with their form.
Equally, Annulet seeks dynamic literary criticism. We introduce the annulet, or a short form, accessible close read, as our particular form of critique. Scholarly at heart and approachable in practice, these annulets should consider: one poem, or one excerptable prose section. Consider it the cherry of an article, and more fun. Longer form criticism, or comparatives, should consider more than one thing in conjunction with each other.
Along with critical and literary essays, comment on topics in poetics, essays on reading and place, reviews, and essays on writers whose work has yet to be critically regarded are also considered.

Important: Submit no more than twice per year.

Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
Be professional, patient, and persistent.
