We are now accepting submissions for our Spring issue. While the theme and title of this issue is \u2018Bodies\u2019 we encourage you to interpret it creatively.<\/p>\n
Our favourite poems are the unexpected kind. We love free verse poems that take familiar situations and turn them on their head, using unusual metaphors and drawing parallels no one else would see. Poems with a sense of place and story are always welcome, as are experimental pieces. You can read our latest issue, Do You Smell Burning<\/a>, to get a sense of the poetry we publish.<\/p>\n The deadline for this issue is February 28th, 2024<\/strong>. Please read our general\u00a0submission guidelines below before sending us your work:<\/p>\n Please submit up to 3 poems per issue, in one submission.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \u2018Bodies\u2019 is the title of the issue, and therefore should not be the title of your poem.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Your work must be original and unpublished, either in print on online. We will accept work that has appeared on your personal website or equivalent.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Please include a brief third-person bio with your submission, up to a maximum of 50 words. You are welcome to include details of previous publications, but this will have no impact on whether your poems will be selected for our magazine.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n At this time, we only accept poems written in English. You are welcome to include words and phrases from other languages.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n It is free to submit your work. At present we do not offer compensation to our authors. If your work is accepted for publication, it will be published in our digital magazine.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n
