We’ve been busy uploading sample poems from past issues so that you can see all the great poems that we’ve published down through the years.
The most recent past issues include Poetry 2014, Pakistan, and Poetry 2015, and you can find between 8-10 poem .pdfs per issue. This project (like the Index Project) is time-consuming and slow-going, so be sure to check back periodically to see what “new” past issues we have available.
Hope you’re having a great summer!
Summer is a good time to catch up on all the great poetry, including contest entries, that we’ve received from you (but haven’t had a chance to get through yet!).
We will be closing shop on June 1st, so make sure you get your (online) submissions in before the deadline!
(But as always, you can mail your subs any time of the year as long as you send an SASE.)
It’s summer which means we’re about to take a month off from receiving new work so that we can catch up on all the general/ contest submissions you’ve sent us—well, we will try anyway!
Our Submittable portal will be closed from June 1-30 for general submissions. (Of course, you can always snail mail us work in June if you simply MUST send us your poems.)
We will re-open for new submissions on July 1st.
Attention undergraduate poets–here’s a bright idea for you:
Would you like to see your poem in print AND win $100 prize? Of course you would!
The Dan Veach Prize for Younger Writers is open to undergraduate students from 18-23, and it’s free to enter. (You just need a Submittable account, which is also free, to submit your work.)
Send us two of your best poems, each under 40 lines long, and a recommendation letter from a professor or an adult who knows your writing well and can attest that it’s your own work.
The contest is open until June 1st! Enter here.
(And creative writing professors–please send your brilliant student poets our way!)
This year’s International Poetry Contest is up and running. Send us your poems from around the globe! We’re eager to read them.
