Editorial Focus
Bracken is an online journal inspired by the wood and its shadows. We publish poetry and art that will root, tender and tough, in us, drawing us deeper into our shared human experience. Bracken is green and lush, coarse and delicate, drinks from the earth, and spreads underground, more root than frond.
Tips From the Editor
While we seek poetry that reflects elements of nature, we are also looking to deepen our understanding of human nature through what we publish.
Please read previous issues before you submit to get a feel for the kind of work that appeals to us.
