Submit up to five poems during open submission periods. We are very small, though (in staff and issues), so our response and print times may vary. You can always e-mail with questions.

As for an aesthetic . . . Send us your favorite poems. What else could we ask for? Our line count limitations are fairly short, however — topping out at about 70 lines. It's not exact, and our Ink-Stained Wretch has a few cool tricks up his sleeve, but every poem gets one standard 5x7 card, printed in 10-point text.

Please notify us as soon as possible if a poem has been accepted elsewhere.
