Editorial Focus
Poetry South is a national journal that considers all kinds of poetry. Though we pay particular attention to writers from the South (born, raised, or living here), all poetry within our covers has a claim to the South because it is published here. The magazine has a tradition of including poets from other regions and other countries. We are looking for a great mix of styles and voices that will appeal to our audience and breathe new life into the poetry of the South.
