Submissions
The Found Poetry Review is accepting found poetry submissions through June 30, 2012, for its Summer 2012 issue.
Give us your poems made up of lines from newspaper articles, instruction booklets, dictionaries, toothpaste boxes, biographies, Craigslist posts, speeches, other poems and any other text-based source. Only found poems will be considered for publication; original poems, regardless of quality, will not be accepted.
All submissions must be made through Submishmash.
Submit each poem individually (up to 5 total poems) individual through Submishmash. Please do not submit multiple poems through one entry/upload. Poems must be submitted as MS Word documents with one poem per page. Please include your name and e-mail address at the top of each page.
In the cover letter section of the submission form please provide 3-5 sentence bio statement and tell us how you first found out about The Found Poetry Review.
Due to copyright sensitivities, all submissions MUST include information about the source(s) incorporated into the poem. If your poem comes from a single source, please provide a link to the original source or a description of the source if it is not available online. If you have borrowed lines from multiple sources, please provide information for each source. Submissions without this information will not be considered for publication.
We currently only accept previously unpublished submissions. (This includes any works that have been previously published on your personal blog or website.) Simultaneous submissions are acceptable; however, please let us know immediately if your work is accepted elsewhere.
The Found Poetry Review acquires first rights for all work published. Reprint rights revert to the author after publication; please include first publication acknowledgments to The Found Poetry Review in subsequent publications.
We regret that we are not able to compensate authors at this time — one reason submissions are (and always will be) free.
