How Will Poems Be Selected?

We believe powerful poetry can take many forms. Whether your writing is simple, lyrical, emotional, or experimental, we want to hear your voice.

Submissions will be evaluated on four criteria:

Originality — Does the poem offer an authentic perspective?

Creativity — Does it express ideas in a thoughtful or distinctive way?

Emotional Expression — Does it communicate a feeling, experience, or idea effectively?

Writing Quality — Does the language, structure, and presentation support the poem's meaning?

Selection will also depend on the quality of submissions and editorial suitability.
