P – Rattle Seeking “Tribute to Food” Poems
October 15 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
Our Summer 2025 issue will be dedicated to poems about food. The poems may be any style or length, but must be written about food in some way. We no longer publish essays, but always include a contributor notes section, where poets briefly discuss the relationship between food and poetry, if there is one, allowing for a wide array of perspectives to be shared.
You may submit up to four previously uncurated poems (or pages of short poems) at the same time, either in a single file or up to four files. Do not include your name or contact info within the file content. Only make one submission (of up to four poems) to this category. We’ll reply a month or two after the deadline.
VERY IMPORTANT:
- Submissions cannot be revised after submission. Note that typos and minor changes never affect our decisions—proofreading is what editors are for. If you’ve made a significant mistake, use the internal messaging system to send a new file as an attachment.
- To withdraw a single poem from a submission of multiple poems, just log in, click on the submission, and send a message to let us know which you’d like removed. Do not withdraw the entire submission—if you do, the submission will no longer be active and we won’t see it.
- Don’t include any contact information in the file(s) that you submit. Your name and contact info will be included in the Submittable fields, and this will make it easier for us to read fairly.
