General
- In all cases the work we covet will feel like it was done with intensity and commitment, regardless of style.
- Simultaneous submissions are fine, but no previously published work.
- We maintain a particular though non-exclusive commitment to poetry of the Pacific Region, while sea-levels still permit.
- All texts are published under a CC BY-NC 4.0 Creative Commons license.
- Read the guidelines for each particular segment below. We’re mostly pretty relaxed.
Minarets
- Our print journal is published (usually) once a year around August.
- Entries are taken until (usually) May 1st.
- We try to have a different guest editor every time for variety.
- Please send 5-10 pages of poetry.
- We prefer to publish more work by a smaller number of poets rather than lots of single poems.
In 2021 we’re doing a special issue and will not be taking open submissions. Check back in January 2022.
ANNEXE
- Our online segment releases work (usually) every month, and accepts submissions year-round.
- We are especially interested in expansive and large-scale works such as: long poems, sequences, poetic research projects, dossiers, investigations, polemics, manifestos, ars poeticæ.
- Poems submitted to Minarets that we value but are unable to fit into our modest print journal may be given the opportunity to appear online instead.
Apocrypha
- Our experimental book response series accepts entries for online publication year-round.
- We want trip reports and strange autopsies, not reviews: here are some examples …
- Examinations of new poetry from the Pacific Region are especially welcome.
