Issue 17 Submissions

We've begun actively reading submissions for Issue 17. Out sincere apologies for the delay (due to a death in the family). We will be working through our backlog as quickly as we can, while still giving each submission due attention!

Poetry South 16 is now published! Copies arrived from the printer this noon, and we're thrilled to start putting them in the mail early next week. It's not too late to order your copy!

Initial Tumblr for Poetry South

Given the complete demise of #Twitter (now X?), we’ve started a Tumblr blog for Poetry South as an offshoot of our MFA’s Tumblr. We’re also on Facebook and Instagram, but not quite ready to join Threads. This seemed like a good place to  hang out.

Our submission deadline for Issue 15 just passed, but we’re open for Issue 16 (Dec. 2024). poetrysouth.submittable.com
