If you submit to Poetry
please only send unpublished work.
If it has already been on social media
Poetry does not want it.
Sorry, them’s the rules.

If you submit to Poetry
you can expect an eight-month response period.
Poetry receives one hundred and fifty thousand pieces each year.
Poetry can only take a few.
Your patience
is appreciated.

If you submit to Poetry
do not do it during the Summer
for that is when Poetry closes down.

If you submit to Poetry
you will be paid
but less for printed poems than for multimedia.
Again, them’s the rules.

Submit to Poetry.
Now.
