Poets, Here's Your Chance!

Hello, fellow poets and writers! I recently discovered a great writing and publishing opportunity that I'd like to share with you. During the months of June, July and August 2007, POETRY Magazine (which is THE foremost poetry journal in the U.S.) is accepting submissions from writers who have never before been published in the journal. The competition will still be intense; however, during these three months, the editors will be open to work from poets who are new to its pages.   

 

For more information, please see POETRY's Website at poetrymagazine.org. They also offer half-price subscriptions to their magazine, and it's an excellent value. As far as I know, POETRY is the only literary journal that prints and mails an excellent, full-length subscriber issue every month. I read it from cover to cover as soon as I get it in the mail, and then I continue to read and refer to it at later points. Some of the best poets in the world are published in POETRY. I've learned so much from the poetry, essays, letters, and comments contained within its pages. The new editor, Christian Wiman, is doing a phenomenal job!  

 

If you'd like to submit your own work during this open submission period, the address is:

 

POETRY Magazine

444 N. Michigan Ave., Suite 1850

Chicago, IL 60611

 

Definitely let me know if you have work accepted! Thank you!
