Poetry Submissions

We are interested in well-conceived, full-length poetry collections arranged with a central theme. We are not considering chapbooks at this time. We appreciate poems that respect and use forms as well as artfully crafted free verse. We favor poems that clutch and surprise us and give us something that lingers.

We do not accept poetry in the following genres:

  • children’s poetry
  • horror
  • erotica
Describe your book, audience, types of poetry, exact number of poems in the manuscript, and all pertinent details. Include comparative texts (which poet are you most like and why).
Submit 5 sample poems; send us your best.
