Frozen Sea About Frozen Sea is excited by a wide range of poetry. We love playing tennis without the net so of course we'll consider free-verse, as well as the carefully-constructed corsetry of form.We aspire to, and work towards, anti-imperialism, anti-capitalism, anti-fascism, anti-racism, anti-misogyny, anti-transphobia, and anti-homophobia through publishing and in our personal lives.A large part of our mission is to publish exciting emerging poets who do not yet have, or have recently published, a full-length collection. Feel free to send work if you don’t quite fit that category—we hope to lead readers to their next favorite poets.We have a preference for publishing queer writers, being queer ourselves.We read for appreciation—if there's something in a poem, or about a poem, that makes us feel envious that we didn't write it, we will likely want to publish it.We also publish visual art and hybrid forms, acknowledging that poetry does not have to be confined to the written word.We like concision, compression, and brevity.
