Able Muse exclusively publishes formal poetry complemented by art and photography, fiction — which debuts in the current issue,  non-fiction essays, book reviews and interviews with a focus on metrical poetry. We are looking for well-crafted poems of any length or subject that employ skillful and imaginative use of meter and rhyme, executed in a contemporary idiom, that reads as naturally as your free verse poems. All forms of formal poetry are welcome. For an example of what we're interested in, check the poetry of Philip Larkin, James Merrill, Elizabeth Bishop, Derek Walcott, Marilyn Hacker, Richard Wilbur, Anthony Hecht....

Able Muse seeks to publish established as well as new voices. We read everything and publish only the best. Send your best!

Send only previously unpublished poems. No simultaneous submissions, please.

Send 1 to 5 poems and a brief bio. A cover letter would be nice, but is not mandatory.  E-mail is the preferred medium of submission, but we also welcome snail mail. For long poems accepted by snail mail, we may request a computer disk. Response time varies from 2 to 12 weeks.

Able Muse also welcomes humorous of light poetry. We also invite submission of fiction (3000 words or less but we will consider longer pieces of exceptional merit,) interviews, book reviews and essays on metrical poetry, photography and artwork (black & white preferred, although we will also consider colored work. Submit in JPG or GIF format, or a URL with the images. When sending a URL, please indicate the specific images you are submitting, not just a link to your homepage!)
