submissions open for volume 12

The PDF compilation of volume 11 poems will be available later this year, but you can read them all (and we hope you will!) through the links in our volume 11 archive.

And we’re happy to say that we’re open for submissions through 15 May 2025.  We have 2 submission categories for this round:

1. We’re interested in found poems created from any source material(s) published in or before 1929.
2. In celebration of our 12th regular volume, we’re also inviting found poems (still created from sources published in or before 1929) that incorporate 12 in some way. For instance, a poem could have 12 syllables, 12 words, or 12 lines; it could use the word “twelve” or “dozen;” it could be an erasure of page 12 or Chapter 12 of a particular book; it could be created from a word-pool you generated by gathering every twelfth word of a source; it could be a cento combining 12 different sources. (These are just suggestions; we’re open to any other use of 12 that strikes your fancy.)
