The Night Bomb Review is
published annually (or bi-annually, if we have the time and enough quality submissions). We accept and read work all year long.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
- Send 10 poems or 20 pages 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. Manuscripts that exceed 20 pages will not be considered.
- 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 via snail mail to
Night Bomb Press
1812 NE 66th #91
Portland, OR 97213
or electronically to submissions@nightbombpress.com
- Simultaneous submissions are OK. Please allow up to 3 months for a response. Do not send queries asking if we have received your work-- we have an autoresponse for that purpose. If your work is selected for publication in The Night Bomb Review, your compensation will be one free copy.
- We prefer previously unpublished work, as our mission is to promote new and emerging authors.
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 it has to have a genuine emotional impact for us to consider publishing it. 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.
