General Guidelines
We are always open for submissions, and excited to read your work!
We accept previously unpublished poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. Simultaneous submissions are fine, but please let us know right away if your work is accepted elsewhere. You can include a cover letter full of amusing tidbits about you or of fascinating trivia you learned from a podcast recently, but we are not interested in reading a list of the journals your work has appeared in. What is important to us is that you are sending us writing that feels urgent and necessary, work that is ready to go out for a stroll in the world. As a journal, we are committed to publishing diverse voices of all kinds.
We aren't looking for particular styles or types of writing, but here are some things we consider when reading:
Nothing excites us more than a stellar combination of image and sound.  We’re interested in how the two collide and inform each other and the  work they’re doing. Images that have energy are the best images. Sound  and form that follows content are the best sounds and forms. We want to  be able to understand what’s going on in your poem by the weight and  lilt of it in our mouths. We read everything aloud. We pay attention to  line breaks. Please send 1-3 poems in a single submission.
