From the Editor
Poetries in English Magazine distinguishes itself from other prestigious literary journals by its nonconformist approach to literatures in English. Each fortnight, it publishes a magazine that is unafraid, iconoclastic, but intelligent. It seeks poetry, fiction and essays that take risks for sophisticated, urban readers. We are open to all styles and aesthetics. We are not prudish or puritanical. Our only criterion is quality. In a cultural landscape crowded with literary journals that too often retreat into the safe confines of established taste, Poetries in English Magazine charts a different course. We distinguish ourselves from other prestigious publications not by rejecting tradition, but by refusing to be constrained by it. Our core mission is rooted in a nonconformist and fiercely independent approach to the vast, evolving ecosystem of literatures in English. We are a platform for the vanguard, a home for the unafraid, and a necessary outlet for the kind of art that challenges, provokes, and ultimately, endures. Each fortnightly issue is a carefully curated act of rebellion—an iconoclastic but deeply intelligent collection of works that refuse to be ignored. We are not interested in quiet competence or polite experimentation. We seek poetry, fiction, and essays that take genuine risks, that push language to its limits, and that are forged in the crucible of a singular, uncompromising vision. Our ideal reader is sophisticated, urban, and intellectually adventurous, someone who approaches art not for easy comfort, but for the thrill of a genuine encounter with a new and challenging perspective. At Poetries in English, we are open to all styles and aesthetics, from the raw and visceral to the cerebral and abstract. We are not prudish or puritanical; we believe that art must have the freedom to explore all territories of human experience, including the sacred, the profane, the political, and the deeply personal. Our only criterion is quality. We are looking for work that demonstrates a mastery of craft, a clarity of purpose, and the courage to be itself in a world that constantly demands conformity. In a precarious time for free and challenging expression, we stand as a bulwark for the voices that dare to speak with urgency, intelligence, and unflinching honesty.
Submissions
Poetries in English seeks fearless and intelligent submissions of poetry, fiction, and essays that challenge convention and ignite intellectual curiosity. We are a home for the vanguard, publishing work that is unafraid to be difficult, provocative, or strange. We are not interested in quiet, well-behaved literature; we want pieces that take genuine risks, whether in form, style, or subject matter. Your work should be crafted with precision and purpose, demonstrating a clear mastery of language while pushing it in new directions. We are actively looking for writers who reject conformity and whose voices are urgent and singular. While we are open to all aesthetics, we are particularly drawn to writing that is experimental, surreal, or philosophically daring. Our ideal submission is one that would feel out of place in a more traditional journal—a piece that is unapologetically itself. We are not prudish or puritanical; no subject is off-limits. Before submitting, ask yourself: Is this work intellectually rigorous? Is it formally ambitious? Does it speak with an uncompromising honesty? If so, we want to read it. Our only true criterion is exceptional qualit
