Editorial Focus
Poetry Midwest primarily seeks to publish Midwestern Noir. They want the grit under fingernails and the mud between toes. They believe in the Objective Correlative. Do not tell them you are lonely; show them the single plate on the table. Give them concrete work that is blunt and unflinching.
Poetry Midwest is proudly based in Missouri, the twenty-fourth state. In honor of their roots, and to force their own editorial discipline, they limit their main run to twenty-four poems for the entire year.
