Every month, the we feature a Poem of the Month. 

The “Poem of the Month” is accompanied by both a contributor’s and an editor’s note, as well as a custom piece of artwork created by Derek Mueller.

Beyond creating more exciting ways for poetry to shine through in the world, we wish to make the editorial process more transparent.

Why do some poems stand out?

Each month has a new form or theme.

The winner will be offered $22 for this contribution.

You may submit only   one poem.   

While the submissions for the Poem of the Month category are free, there are also tip-jar option and paid feedback options. These help us sustain the magazine.

We will respond to all submissions within three weeks.
