DMQ Review About While our current interest remains the Prose Poem, the DMQ Review is extremely proud of our history as one of the longest continuously running online journals in the nation, featuring award-winning poetry with art since 1998. As an independent, volunteer-run literary journal, it has been our privilege to publish the work of both established and emerging poets and to do so without submission or subscription fees. We welcome American and international voices from all cultural identities in the English language. Submission Caps: They may close to submissions early if they reach their quota.
