For all you poets out there, there’s a new kid in town, and a great new venue for showcasing your poetry.
Rockvale Review is currently reading for its inaugural issue to be published in November. Seekers of “bold and vulnerable poetry,” Rockvale Review:
…believes language is power, and poetry is one conduit into unleashing that power. We believe poets have a unique way of seeing the world and sharing experiences, emotions, dreams and passions. Their voices raise awareness, challenge stereotypes, create beauty, pose questions, speak personal truths, and spark imagination. We wanted to create a poetry journal that celebrates the poetic voice and supports the journey of poets. All voices are welcome here.
Like many literary journals, Rockvale Review will publish online, but the flexibility of technology also allows its editors to live in various places around the Southeast and Midwest, North Carolina poet Nancy Posey among them. For the full masthead, click here.
Poets interested in placing their work with Rockvale Review should note their two open reading periods, July 1 through September 30 (with an issue published in November) and January 1 through March 31 (with an issue published in May). Submissions will not be read outside of these reading periods.
Send 1-3 poems, no longer than 75 lines each. All submissions are read blind. Currently, issues are not themed. For full submission guidelines, click here.
