P – Last Leaves Magazine Seeking Submisions on the Theme: Feral
Theme for Issue 9: Feral
In this issue we invite you to unleash the feral animal that lives within your poet heart. Show us the wild creature you’ve hidden, or the ferocious existence you wish you could live out. We want to read your untamed poetry before it has been cultivated by society. Or, you can send us poems that touch on an encounter with the feral. What beasts have you known? Have you stared into the eyes of an animal and felt that nature itself stared back? Write it down, send it our way, take us with you into the wilderness.
Submission guidelines:
-
We do not accept AI-generated poetry.
-
Please send up to 5 poems (no more than 10 pages) as a single Word (.doc or .docx) attachment. Please start each poem on a new page. All work should be single-spaced and in Times New Roman, 12-point font.
-
Do not include your name or contact information in the documents.
-
Submitters are welcome to send work through Duosuma, once per submission period per category and up to 5 pieces in each category.
-
Please include a brief 50-word bio. Include your name as you would like it to appear in the magazine, your email, and links to your website and/or social media (if desired). We will trim the bio as-needed if it exceeds the word count.
Simultaneous submissions are accepted, though please send us a message ASAP if your work is accepted elsewhere. We do not accept previously published work, but we love reading your poems on Instagram @lastleavesmag.
Please only submit once per issue and wait until the next reading period to submit again. We hope to respond to each submission within two months. As with most literary magazines, we’re volunteers and doing our best. We thank you in advance for your patience.
