Michael, Susan and Erik

Thanks so much! That seems pretty definitive and really useful.

Andrew Szilvasy 03-18-2018 03:05 PM

Yes. I do appreciate it as well. Still lots to wade through there. Some of those journals aren't necessarily places you should be proud to have your work. But it's better to have some sources to wade through rather than not.

Jean L. Kreiling 03-18-2018 03:06 PM

This is a heartbreak.

My deep gratitude to Rob and Paul for their years of work on this brilliant and necessary journal.

And thanks for the lists of formal-friendly journals . . . but I think there's a little bit of bad news there, too: my understanding is that American Arts Quarterly no longer publishes poetry.

Is that so? Sorry to hear it. I noticed Susan McLean's New Test For Narcissism in its most recent issue.

William Thompson 03-18-2018 03:27 PM

The Alabama Literary Review is most receptive to formal poetry (if it's really good!).

Jerome Betts 03-18-2018 03:28 PM

Sadly, also, The Rotary Dial has ceased publication.

It never rains but it pours, eh? Thoughts off-the-cuff:
Journals I took for stones now come and go.
Like plants, they need chronic upkeep to grow.
New blooms spring up, upstarts, Rat’s Ass Review . . .
of which you wonder: who the hell are you
to start the next poetry magazine?

Some thrive and all diversify the scene.

Andrew Szilvasy 03-18-2018 03:56 PM

Most recent publication on their website is 2016.

Duotrope is a good source for some of this, but so frequently publications say they are open to formal poems but then you read what they publish you hardly see any.

Michael Juster 03-18-2018 04:02 PM

Silly me, I forgot Erato-friendly Peacock Journal!
