Submission Guidelines
We like a collection that feels more like a whole than a sampling of work. We have no preference as to formal or free verse.
55 to 75 pages of poetry, plus a table of contents and acknowledgements (if applicable).
Please number all your pages.
Please do not include any identifying information in the manuscript.
Submissions via Submittable.
Simultaneous and multiple submissions okay.
