Editorial Focus
Lately, here's what Neologism wants: dreams and strange situations; love in all its forms; erasure (as conversation with source text, as theme, as mode of deconstruction); unique points of view; and meditations on nature from people who know how to pay close attention. Otherwise, anything goes. Uncommonly submitted forms considered a bonus: contrapuntal, haiku, burning haibun (example: https://www.neologismpoetry.com/April-20...), and duplex.
Voices of people of color, neurodivergent people, and LGBTQ+ people are welcomed here.
Tips From the Editor
Response time is within three days, and most often closer to 1 day. While issues are not specifically themed, I do try to fit the tone of each issue to the season as experienced in New England.
In addition to the typical free verse, rhymed and blank verse is welcome, as well as lyric forms. End-rhyming would ideally be rhythmically de-emphasized by enjambment and ornamented or replaced by internal rhyme.
