Poems for Persons of Interest

Poems for Persons of Interest will be open to poetry submissions for our June issue April 1 through April 30. The submission guidelines are at the bottom of this post. For this issue, we are particularly interested in poems on the theme of memory, broadly construed, but we will consider all poems.

Submit only previously unpublished poems. We do not consider poems that have appeared only on your own social media as "previously published."

We accept translations only where the original poem is in the public domain or you have permission to publish the translation from the original’s copyright holder.
