Caesura Poetry Magazine This project is believed to be defunct. (February 2015) We list other projects with similar titles. Please check that you report any submissions under the correct listing. About Caesura refers to a break or a pause in poetry. In ancient poetry, this was a break between words in the middle of metric foot. In modern poetry, it refers to a pause near the middle of a line. On its own, a caesura is nothing. It may be difficult for the casual observer to articulate precisely what has occurred in the line. However, the effect is noticed and in fact becomes the focal point upon closer observation. We are of the opinion that there’s little art left in words themselves. A caesura is a prime example of an elegant poetic device that is underappreciated in contemporary poetry. We are also of the opinion that many good poets are underappreciated in the world of publishing, and that is why one of our primary goals at Caesura is to publish new and emerging writers.

We believe that honesty is the substance lacking most from the majority of poetry that we read, and it is always refreshing to discover a bit of it.
