Tribute to Travel
Ends on
Our Summer 2027 will be dedicated to travel poems—poems about leaving home for a while and experiencing somewhere else. We’re interested in vacations, road trips, flights, train rides, hotels, museums, beaches, guidebooks, wrong turns, unfamiliar meals, and the small disorientations that come with being away from your ordinary life. Travel has a way of sharpening attention, making even the most practical details feel strange or memorable. The poems may be on any subject and of any length, as long as they engage with the experience of travel. We no longer publish essays, but always include a contributor notes section, where we ask in this case for a brief note about the trip, place, or travel experience behind the poem.
Submit up to four previously uncurated poems at the same time, either in a single file or up to four files. Do not include your name or contact info within the file(s) content.
