Although the submissions window for the love-themed issue is now closed,
Ecotone will be opening their submissions window for one day only, Feb. 14--in the spirit of things, apparently.
Highlights from the guidelines:
'In honor of our fourteenth year of publication (also, happy Valentine’s Day!) we’re particularly interested in seeing fresh examples of the sonnet, the rondel prime, and the bref double. Formal invention and noniambic meters are encouraged, but show us your metrical skills (particularly with noniambic meters!), and bring out your fancy rhyme schemes, however slant. All kinds of sonnets are welcome: Petrarchan, Shakespearean, Spenserian. What’s new to say with these forms? We want to hear it."
"And one more note: There’s plenty of gratuitous and cynical writing on this subject already. Such submissions are discouraged."
