The Weekly Poet, a new literary blog, is now reading unsolicited submissions of between 3 and 10 poems. We intend to publish weekly. If accepted your poems will be featured on our front page for one week along with an extended bio and interview.
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 in 12-pt Times New Roman with standard margins.
For information on how to submit, see the Guidelines page up top. For more general information about this blog, see the About page.
