Contest: Please send one to five poems, brief contributer notes and fifteen dollars, check or money order, to The Eleventh Muse, c/o Poetry West, P.O. Box 2413, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80901. Contest participants will receive a copy of the journal when it's published October, 2008.
We are interested in everything from traditional metrical/narrative work through free verse lyrics and into cutting-edge work that pushes on the boundaries between poetry and prose. Whatever the style, the language must be extraordinary. We also consider essays, criticism, reviews, and short prose works on poetry and interviews. Please query first. We accept translations if you can provide us with the original untranslated text as well.
General Submissions: Please submit up to five original, unpublished poems (100 lines or less per poem) and a brief biography (50 words or less) appropriate for contributors’ notes, to address above.
The deadline is June 1, 2008.
Simultaneous submissions are fine, but please notify us ASAP if your work is accepted elsewhere.
Under no circumstances should you send us revisions to a poem that we are still considering. If we accept a poem that you have revised in the meantime, please feel free to let us know when we accept the poem--however, we cannot guarantee we will accept the revisions.
If your poem was published in an e-zine, it's previously published. However, if you posted it at an online workshop for critique and revision, the poem is still eligible for submission.
Feel free to query us by e-mail on the status of your manuscript if you do not hear from us within three months of submission. Send questions to fgomeztagle@gmail.com
Unless we request otherwise, please do not submit more than once per six months.
We consider all accepted poems for inclusion as samples on the website. Contributors receive one free copy of the issue their poem appears in, as well as a discount for additional copies of that issue.
