Call for Submissions to Last Stanza Poetry Journal, Issue #19: Fable

The theme for Last Stanza Poetry Journal Issue #19 is Fable, and it will feature the works of Swedish folk and fantasy artist John Bauer [1882-1918].

The deadline for submissions is December 31, 2024. A single $100 award will be given for an outstanding poem. There is never a reading fee. An interview with the Editor’s Choice Award winner will be published in the same issue (optional).

Poems can be any style, but preferably non-rhyming. Submit up to three poems, each no longer than 64 lines, to laststanza@outlook.com as a single Word document or within the body of your email. There is no budget for author copies, as proceeds are used to purchase copies for libraries. Published poems will be considered for a Pushcart Prize nomination. Authors retain all rights to their poems. Reprints are rarely accepted. If the poem has been previously published, please credit the prior publication.

Last Stanza Poetry Journal is published worldwide in ebook, softcover, and color-illustrated hardcover. It is available primarily from Amazon, but some issues are also via these sites and others: Barnes & Noble, Walmart, Book Depository, Blackwell, and Powell’s.
