All regular and contest poem submissions limited to three.

Submission Guidelines 

We publish two reviews a year: Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer. Deadlines are August 31 and the last day of February. Submit up to three poems. 

We look for well-crafted poems under 61 lines. Lines exceeding 50 characters may be broken at the discretion of the editor.  Poems should be single spaced indicating stanza breaks. If other than single spacing is integral to the poem, please indicate where breaks occur.

Poems must bear the poet’s name, address, e-mail address and/or phone number.

 A brief biography is mandatory. An SASE must be included for notification
to take place.   

We will accept simultaneous submissions, but we do not accept previously published work. If you intend to submit poems simultaneously, 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.

Publication pays one copy to poets who are published.

We do not accept responsibility for incorrect guidelines obtained from other websites or outdated sources. For full details see our website at http://cgreview.org
