Submissions Guidelines: We don't adhere to any strictures of form, theme, or style, though our general aesthetic leans toward the highly imaginative, image-oriented lyric—the experimental in spirit and/or practice (please read an issue before submitting). We are looking for the vividly luminous, swashbuckling, hyper-mundane and dawdling-extraordinary. We like to laugh and cry simultaneously in all directions. You must grab us by the cockles of our very souls and eyeballs. Please send between five and seven poems as a single Word document to fou.submit@gmail.com and include a paragraph or so of get-to-know-you. Currently we read year-round. We will respond, ideally, within three months. If you have not heard from us after three months, please write a gently prodding email listing your name and poem titles. |
