The Marrow International Poetry We list other projects with similar titles. Please check that you report any submissions under the correct listing. About We welcome poetry submissions written in, or translated into, English, from Australian and international poets, whether established, emerging or somewhere in between. We’re looking for accessible writing with close attention to craft and language. We appreciate innovation, whether a twist on the traditional or something more radical. We welcome diversity of style, form and subject. We are more interested in the poem, and what it changes in the reader, than in the poet. Send us your best work—free verse or pantoum, sonnet or prose poem, sestina or haibun, or your own unique creation. Submission Caps: They may close to submissions early if they reach their quota.
