SUBMISSIONS ARE OPEN

​​​​

​​

In addition to original writing (particularly on themes of U.S. East Coast/West Coast cities, cultures, and ecologies), we particularly appreciate political poetry, ecopoetry and nature poems, love poems, poems about the body, feminist poetry, queer poetry, and poems that engage with history, literature, art, and/or modern culture. Hybrid, experimental, and cross-genre work is welcome. No covid/quarantine poems or light verse. We are wary of alternating rhyme schemes.

​

Poetry: 1-5 poems. Titles preferred. Translations welcome.

​

Creative nonfiction, book reviews, interviews, critiques, braided essays, and similar: 1,000-3,000 words, though this is not a hard rule.

​

Photography/Art: Submit up to 10 photos or works of art using the highest image/file quality possible.

​

We do not accept AI-generated work, or writing that espouses bigotry or hateful attitudes. Simultaneous submissions are allowed; upon acceptance, please withdraw your work from other journals.

​

See full guidelines and submit via Submittable.​​​​​
