The Found Poetry Review

celebrates the poetry in the existing and everyday.

 

And we don’t mean the gentle sway of birch trees or the way sunlight streams in through the window onto your (latest) lover’s hair.  We’re talking about the poetry found in your newspaper articles, instruction booklets, dictionaries, product packaging, public speeches, existing poems and more.

Up for the challenge? Check out some of our past issues and then submit your own work for one of our upcoming biannual issues.
