Thank you for your interest in\u00a0Poetry Northwest<\/em>, the region\u2019s oldest literary magazine. After more than 60 years, we remain committed to publishing the best in contemporary poetry, especially work willing to take risks and push readers to the emotional and intellectual edge of what poetry makes possible. Our editor, Keetje Kuipers, recently spoke with\u00a0Poets & Writers<\/em>\u00a0about\u00a0her editorial vision<\/a>\u00a0for the magazine:<\/p>\n

I\u2019m interested in accepting poems that I struggle with, that I don\u2019t understand, that I might even fundamentally disagree with in terms of either their craft or simply the argument that they\u2019re making about the state of the world. I\u2019m excited to take those chances and to make myself uncomfortable and make readers a little uncomfortable.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We are also staunch advocates for our writers, and poems published in our magazine often appear later in the pages of the\u00a0Pushcart Prize<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Best American<\/em>\u00a0anthologies.<\/p>\n

We strive to go beyond<\/a>\u00a0encouraging submissions from diverse voices. Our mission to employ equitable editorial practices runs parallel to our mission to publish the most exciting poetry we can find. Take a look at a recent issue and you\u2019ll see that we stand behind both these commitments.<\/p>\n

Presenting: Featuring Emerging Writers<\/h2>\n

If you are an emerging writer, please consider submitting poems to\u00a0Presenting<\/em>, a print feature in which Senior Editor Xavier Cavazos introduces readers to a poet whose work has never before been featured in a nationally distributed print journal. All work submitted in this category will be considered for general publication even if not selected for the\u00a0Presenting<\/em>\u00a0feature.<\/p>\n

We accept submissions online via Submittable only; work sent via mail will be recycled. Emailed submissions will go unread.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  • Please submit no more than\u00a0four poems<\/strong>\u00a0at a time. Combine all poems into a single document and upload as a Word file. If you wish to submit a PDF, please include it as a second file.<\/li>\n
  • Out of respect for our volunteer readers, we request that you include a\u00a0content warning<\/strong> if your work references or depicts personal or historical trauma (including violence, genocide, assault, abuse, etcetera).
