Poetry Guidelines
The publication guidelines are really quite simple:
1. Limit yourself to 5 poems at a time.
2. Style and form don’t matter--I don’t want to stifle anyone’s
creativity.
3. Try to limit the length. I might accept a long poem if it's
exceptional, but Calliope is a smallish
publication and our poetry page count is limited.
4. I’m open to all subject matter but do feel that language should
conform to community standards.
I don’t want to censor anyone, but I frankly think that many
of the “good old Anglo-Saxon”
epithets are overused or unnecessary. I don’t think Calliope
should intentionally offend.
5. If you submit poems by postal service, please include
a self-addressed, stamped envelope. I’m
much less likely to publish poems received by
snail-mail without the simple courtesy of a SASE.
Regardless of how you submit your poems, include your
postal mailing address so that contributor
copies can be sent to you, should your work be
accepted.
