EVENT - Poetry (Fiction)



Description
Note: this publication may close early for submissions if they reach a submission quota; these early closures will not be tracked in this listing.

Note: Writers may only appear in EVENT once every two years.

We love poems that are lyrical without being overwrought, and profound without being pretentious. We look for honesty of emotion, and images that arrest us.
