ONLY POEMS Poet of the Week A project of ONLY POEMS (see other related projects). About ONLY POEMS was founded by two poets.There are so many ways to delight in poetry. We are a bit obsessive — when we like a poem, we immediately want to see more of the poet’s work. Most literary magazines we love follow a poem-a-day model, focusing on the singular poetic spark. We invite poets to lay before us a small galaxy — show us the blackholes and supernovas, the many moons and solar flares of their work.We are committed to fostering a platform that showcases intellectual exploration, artistic innovation, and sociocultural inclusivity.We publish emerging poets alongside established poets.We believe all poets should be paid for their work.We are invested in developing and providing more valuable resources to positively contribute to the poetry community and literary world at large. Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for some submissions. They charge fees for some submission periods, feedback, and expedited responses. The fee is USD $10 (above average for magazines that charge).
