please send two to six unpublished poems written in English, bound in the e-mail body or as an attached .doc (MS Word) or .rtf (Rich Text Format) document. poetry may include dedication and should be accompanied by full name of the poet, birthplace, year of birth and a brief biographical statement.

incomplete submissions and referrals to web sites or personal blogs will not be considered. translations are not acceptable. please do not send work that has been submitted elsewhere ("simultaneous submissions"). contributions are accepted in an ad honorem basis.

we ask our contributors to allow three to four weeks for review and a decision.
