P – Callout for Submissions to Last Stanza Poetry Journal, Issue 21: Conversation
The theme for Last Stanza Poetry Journal Issue #21 is Conversation. Conversations, painful or joyful discussions, debates, gossip, pillow talks, or conversations you’ve always wished you could have had.
The deadline for submissions is June 30th, 2025. 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 may 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 an 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 no longer accepted.
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 available via these sites and others: Barnes & Noble, Walmart, Book Depository, Blackwell, and Powell’s.
