Editorial Focus
RHINO is a high-quality, perfect-bound annual journal with online content including poems, event updates, and monthly e-zine RHINO Reviews. We invite traditional or experimental work reflecting passion, originality, artistic conviction, and a love affair with language. We encourage emerging and established writers throughout the US and around the world. Submissions are read by multiple editors with various tastes; we are “eclectic” in the best sense of the word. Founders' Prize submissions Sep. 1 - Oct. 15 ($15 fee) + considered for publication.
