Poets new to me and Literary Journals
Hello all,
This is going in an email as well, so you can get the links.
Below find a list of ten literary journals that provide a
large swath of the contemporary poetry world. I’ve chosen these according to
several factors. First, that they are
diverse as a list, containing many different viewpoints about what poetry
is/should be. Second is that they are going concerns. Literary journals tend to have short shelf
lives, often disappearing overnight. If
you subscribe to one of these, you will receive magazines. They also all have
active web pages which allow you to peruse the kind of material they tend to
include. You will be subscribing to the paper and ink version of at least one
of these journals. You will also write a
short review of said journal, but more on that later. You also must submit to at least one (most
have online submissions), but more on that anon as well. Right now, I would like you to peruse them,
get a sense of which one you would like to subscribe to.

Also here is where you should post for poets “new to me”. Let’s everyone get a post up by the weekend.
They do not need to be long or involved and they needn’t respond to the same
critical criteria each time. It could be
something as simple as, “I like the image in line three”, or “I heard this poet
lived in and wrote about Detroit, and I like/hate/have family there, so thought
I would check them out”. And we should
not be afraid to point out “I don’t have a sense of what this poem is trying to
do,…..I don’t get it”.
