We look for well-crafted poems
under 61 lines. If line length exceeds 50 characters,
lines may be broken at the discretion of the editor.
We publish two reviews a year,
Fall / Winter and Spring / Summer. Deadlines are August 31 and the
last
day of February. Last minute submissions will be accepted if they are
postmarked on or before our deadline.
Any poem should be single spaced and indicate where the verse breaks
occur. Poems must bear the poet’s name, address, e-mail address (if
any), and telephone number. Submit up to three poems (non-contest
and contest submissions). A brief biography must be included or poems will be returned until one is
submitted. Simultaneous submissions
are
allowed, but we
do not accept previously published work. If you intend to simultaneous
submit your poems, you should state so in your submission cover letter.
However, once we have notified you that your poem has been accepted, it
will be published as a first time publication.
All rights revert back to the author after
publication.
Payment for publication in
Common Ground Review is one copy containing your published poem.
We do not accept responsibility
for incorrect submission guidelines, either information obtained from other websites
or outdated issues of Common Ground Review.
Send all poems to:
Larry O’Brien, Editor, 40 Prospect Street, Unit C1
