"We do not want poems about sailboats. They're sort of tired and boring. We are looking for underground writers who are looking for a place to muck up the internet with their bold and interesting writing. We treasure poetry that strays from the path."

About the Magazine

Founded in 2012 | United States

We want raw, evocative, emotional poetry. Send us horror, thrillers, dark fantasy, drunken romantics, gritty realism, etc. We love imagery. We love free verse; we also love the aubade. The form is up to you. However, we do not traditionally publish prose poems at this time.If you write nature poems, religious poems, rhyming verse or boring poetry, please submit elsewhere. We're not looking for that. If your work promotes rape or hatred (racism, bigotry, etc.), we don't want it. Please dodn't send it. Consider reading a back issue or two before submitting for the first time.

Masthead

We currently list only main editors, more will be added later! If you are an editor, you can edit your masthead in our admin panel :)
