| Information about your publication: |
The Weekly Poet is an upcoming online literary blog that aims to publish a few poems by a single poet per week. Depending on the initial level of enthusiasm, this site may be up very soon or not for a while. Most of the featured poets on this site will be unsolicited, but we will occasionally feature solicited poetry as well. If any of your poems are accepted, we will ask for first-time publication rights, the right to display your poems anywhere on our website (including in a future “Best Of” or similar section), and the right to publish them in a print anthology. We may also want to conduct a brief interview with you to post on the website along with your poems. |
| What type of submissions you are looking for: |
The poems we intend to feature will be “well rounded,” which means we pay equal attention to aesthetics as we do meaning. They should be tight. They should sound smooth when read aloud and demonstrate a good understanding of sonics. And they should have a profound theme or meaning which is arrived at through the combined effort of form and diction. Aside from that, we will consider any type of poem, so long as it does not go over 1 page in Microsoft Word. Examples of some things we really want to see: poetry that doesn’t show or tell, but suggest. Smooth metered poetry. Love poems that avoid cliche–but don’t look like they’re trying to avoid cliche. And of course, we’re always looking for the types of poems that make us cry, laugh, or simply stare in awe. |
