Editorial Focus
Philly Chapbook Review looks for serious poetry that has something important to say. This can mean poems about topics important to the author, telling who they are or what they think, or an unusual or clever creative style. Poems don’t need to deal with weighty subjects, but should be meaningful.
Tips From the Editor
We prefer thought-provoking free verse. Exceptions can be made, but common forms of metered verse, end-rhyme, haiku/tanka, and other well-worn forms should be avoided entirely. We also like to feature a poet rather than a poem, so submissions must include at least three poems. Each submission is judged as a whole.
