192 Poetry Ezine
Submissions for Issue 3 are Open!
192 Magazine takes its name from the original directory enquiries phone number here in the UK, so we thought that it would offer a nice sense of symmetry. We are looking to produce a magazine that showcases the best that the contemporary moment has to offer. We like good poetry, whatever that looks like, so please send us your best, favourite or weirdest work, and hopefully it'll find a home here.
We are not massive, nor do we have any influence beyond our sphere, but we hope that our little voice will turn into a roar over the coming years. So stick with us.
Submission Guidelines.
The deadlines are as follows: May 31st
Please complete the google form and upload up to 4 poems on a word doc.
Simultaneous submissions are fine, just let us know if you are accepted elsewhere.
Please send all poems in one document.
We publish 25 poems per issue, no more, no less, so please don't feel bad if you don't make the final cut.
Send a short bio of around 75 words with your submission.
