The Unrorean A project of Encircle Publications (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (April 2017). We provide the following information as an archive. About Begun in 2001 as a poetry broadsheet that would serve as the aler-ego to the Aurorean, the Unrorean has published some of the most recognized poets in the small press as well as new and upcoming poets. In 2016 the Unrorean transitioned from print publication to digital online publication and is now free and available to the widest audience possible. Country of Publication United States Publication Medium & Frequency Electronic Publication Electronic PublicationPublished 2 x per year Poetry Closed Seasonal, meditative, inspirational, and nature poems need not apply, send those instead to the Aurorean. We are looking for poetry with a lot of verve that has a harder edge to it. Narrative poetry is generally well received if it’s crafted well. Other types of poetry we like to see include stripped micro poetry, modern contemporary tanka and haiku, prose poems, surrealist and language poetry, humorous poetry, bar room poetry, poetry from the street, the gutter, the trailer park, or a muddy dirt road off the grid. We generally shy away from politically or religiously themed poetry but strive to keep an open mind to it.Dates: Rolling Deadlines: Check cutoff dates.Audience:Open to a broad Audience.Genres: GeneralLengths: Poem: No line limits known; Up to 5 pieces.Poetry Forms:Open to all/most Forms.Styles:Open to all/most Styles, including: Dark, Experimental, Literary.Topics: Open to all/most Topics.Payment:No monetary payment No monetary payment.Submissions:Methods: Submittable submission manager.
