Cream City Review - Poetry
(Fiction) (Nonfiction)
Description
Note: one submission per reading period.
Note: if published here, wait two years before submitting again.
We like strong, vivid images and language that moves the poem somewhere and take us with them. We like poems that don’t shy away from feelings, or that work towards an understanding of why we shy away from feelings at all. We like energy in our poems, kinetic and potential, and sometimes both at once. We like experimentation and poems whose form enriches the content, so send us your weird ways of thinking, feeling, and being in the world—whether that’s a sonnet or an erasure or a form we haven’t even seen yet.
