SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
- Send 4-7 poems cut
and pasted into the body of an e-mail AND attached as Word docs or .rtf
files if the original forms go screwy in the cut n' paste process.
- Please
include your name and "poetry submission" on each email and file, as
this eliminates confusion when trying to match a download to its author.
- Be
sure to include a SHORT bio (50 words or less) and your physical
address so we know where to send a copy if your work is included in the
review.
- Submit poems to submissions@nightbombpress.com
We're looking for poetry that pays an equal amount of attention to linguistics as it does to conceit. We're fans of innovation and enemies of most academic trends (like "poetry" that is actually prose with line breaks centered around one pity observation). Language poetry is fine, but We
tend to avoid poetry that rhymes, employs a great number of
abstractions, does not contain tropes of any kind, and most
socio-political rants or protest poems. Our goal is to produce a review
that will still feel innovative, edgy, emotive, and just damn good ten
years from now.
We
would love to read each and every full-length manuscript that comes our
way, but with editing, publishing, distributing, and design to handle,
we cannot spare the time for what amounts to free editing. Unsolicited
manuscripts that exceed the 7-poem limit will be eaten.
Please allow up to 5 months response time before resubmitting.
