Call for Submissions

October 19, 2024

Fall. Falls. Falling. Fallen. Think autumn leaves and crisp, star-filled nights. Or cool water cascading over a verdant ridge. Or a trip you took with your best friend to see the famous home of Frank Lloyd Wright. Or the platinum blonde hairpiece your aunt Lois bought (and wore with pride) when her beautiful locks began to thin. Any interpretation of fall at all. Surprise us!

Guidelines

• Please submit (only once) up to two original, previously unpublished poems (no more than two pages total) in .doc or .docx format, 12pt font attached to your email. Please be sure to include your name and email address at the top of the document. Please also include your last name in the document’s title as follows: lastname_3poems.docx.

• Feel free to submit to this special call for poems even if one of your poems has been published by us in the past 12 months.

• The Poetry Distillery publishes poems sown in the Poetry Barn's workshops, mentorship engagements, readings, and events. In your submission, please tell us how your poem is connected to The Poetry Barn.

Deadline

Please submit your best work to hello@poetrydistillery.com by November 30th, using the subject line: “Fall Submission.” We will begin publishing poems from this call as early as October 25th.
