Our annual poetry issue contains a 12–15 page section featuring the work of a single poet, and our annual fiction issue features the winner of our short story contest, as well prose poems, "short-shorts," and some of the longer stories submitted to our contest. Please send poems and short fiction separately. Submissions are accepted September through May only. Manuscripts received in June, July or August will be returned unread. We report back in 6-8 weeks. Work accepted for publication appears 6-12 months from date of acceptance. Please send submissions and correspondence to:
