En•Trance Journal

About

We believe poetry transforms us, both in the reading and in the writing. We want to see your previously-unpublished poems about altered states! See our guidelines below.

By altered states, we do not specifically mean drug-induced experiences—though we’d love to see some poems on that topic—but rather the transmission, in poetry, of the mysterious, the fascinating, and the numinous.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
