Bestiary Magazine This project is believed to be defunct. (June 2012) About Bestiary Magazine is a monthly poetry journal. Inspired by projects that can be accomplished using MagCloud (such as 48 HR Magazine), Bestiary hopes to offer something new and interesting to the world of poetry journals. Country of Publication United States Publication Medium & Frequency Print Publication Print PublicationPublished when new content or new issues become available Poetry Believed Defunct We’re open-minded and will consider most kinds of poetry, but like anyone, we definitely have tastes. Ours lean toward poems that are moving, unusual, insightful, musical and daring. We like to learn new things and feel along with the poem’s characters. Most of the poems you’ll see here will likely be free verse, but we’re also fans of formal poetry. In general, we’re not fans of poetry so opaque in language that we cannot connect emotionally to the poem, nor are we fans of transcriptions of spoken word. Because each issue is centered around a theme, we’re most excited by poems that surprise us or give us a new way of seeing the topic (or subtopic). Think of each issue of Bestiary as a mini-anthology. Each issue will be centered around a theme. Please do not send us poems during a submission period that do not fall under the current theme. Each submission period lasts only a few days; all poems sent outside the submission period will be rejected outright.Audience:UnknownGenres: GeneralLengths: Poem: No line limits known.Poetry Forms:Open to all/most Forms, including: Formal verse, Free verse.Styles:Literary.Topics:None found.Payment:No monetary payment No monetary payment.Submissions:Method: Electronic submissions.
