Submissions

Verse of April is Currently Accepting Essays and Interviews on the work of Living poets.

Verse of April believes in giving space and platform to those wishing to further converse with the work of contemporary poets. We are currently accepting essays and interviews that engage with the poetry, artistic practice, or community work of a living poet. We are not opposed to book reviews and will happily consider such pieces. However, we are very interested in “book essays,” a practice we liken to the writer convening in a meaningful way with a contemporary poetry text.

Guidelines:

All submitted pieces must be original works and never before published online or in print.

1) All essay and interview submissions should be sent in either Word or PDF format.

2) A brief third-person biography should accompany your document(s).

All documents should be sent to verseofapril@gmail.com. Please use “Verse of April Essay and Interviews Submission” as your subject line.

There is no deadline for this space. Submissions and acceptances will happen on a rolling basis.

Editorial Statement: Under no circumstances will Verse of April review work that is racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic, or intentionally or unintentionally harmful or derogatory. Please preface work that is potentially triggering with an appropriate warning in the email that accompanies your submission.
