PoetryRepairShop Call for Poetry Manuscripts & Submission Guidelines

Guidelines
Open to all manner of quality work that repairs the mind/soul, makes us see in new ways, think new thoughts. In short, we want your BEST work.

Send 3 to 6 poems in the body of the email (non-Roman font? attach it in .gif or .bmp format). Submission indicates an offer to publish your poem/s in a future online issue/s of PoetryRepairShop and online archive, as well as in an end of year print and/or CD collection.

Our style: 12 point Arial font size 2; poet's name (all caps) and Title; body of poem on third line after Title.
Send to: editor at poetryrepairs.zzn.com

Volume of contributions may prohibit thorough analysis and/or response to your poems - An editorial judgment is but one judgement of the poem (I've written enough to know that brilliant editors accept my work; ignorant editors reject it).

Social
Narrative
Poetry
In a totally encompassing private universe, individual experience manifests tendencies toward unify, difference, and harmony; poets who advocate a tendency REcreate a world - its possibilities, facts, its traditions - and lend structure to society. A social poet reports individual observation in order to change society, tendencies, the world, our perceived universe.

Plot, essential to traditional western literature, is often implied in other literature. Narrative poems - in meter, rhyme, and rhythm - mimic conversational tone (exceptions have been made); submit poems with wit and humor, whose turns, reversals, and recognitions are evocative, informative, rich with meanings; the confessional (about "me") should nonetheless be about all of us - "I" is a persona rather than a private self whose "poem" is a biographical diary entry.

"Poetry" in form and structure changes over time; poets know what poetry is; they know its traditions and know when and how to deviate effectively.
