Web version guidelines
 Please Include an introductory note and a short bio with the poetry.If you don't send a bio, and I choose your work, I will publish it without a bio. I will not consider submissions that are simply a collection of your poems and don't indicate that you know to which magazine and editor you are submitting your work.
Send 3-5 poems in the body of the email. If I have trouble with the formatting, I'll write and ask you to send me an attachment. If you send more than five poems, I'll know that you haven't read the guidelines, and I will not respond to the submission.
Previously published poems are welcome as long as you indicate where the poems have appeared. Please do not send simultaneous submissions.
I Prefer poetry that shows rather than tells. I welcome form poems.
I don't usually make comments or edit the submissions without your permission. Please edit your own work for standard English usage. If you have mistakes in standard English usage in your poem, I will not consider publishing it.
Response time depends on what time of year your work is submitted. Although I wish I could respond quickly to every submission, sometimes it could take me 1-2 months to respond.
