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.

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.

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.
