Crowstep Poetry Journal

This project is believed to be defunct. (March 2026)

About

Crowstep Journal [is] a memorial project dedicated to my great, great grandfather and revolutionary Indian poet, Kundur Narayana Menon 1861 - 1936. He was also mentor to India's Poet Laureate, Vallathol Narayana Menon. They were both part of a progressive literary movement in Kerala that turned away from using the exclusive language of Sanskrit, in favour of writing poetry in their regional language of Malayalam. Some common themes in their work were nature, social injustice and the lives of ordinary people.
In India, crows are believed to be the spirits of our ancestors and so Crowstep Journal is a space that explores themes around ancestry, the natural world, the extra-ordinary in the ordinary and the magic of everyday things. We invite you to submit poems on these themes in fresh, inventive, surprising and unusual ways and encourage broad interpretations.

The editors may not respond to all submissions. After waiting 28 days, assume your submission will not be accepted.
