Editorial Focus
Verses From The Underground is a free monthly poetry publication based in Philadelphia. The publication stands for the promotion of good quality, accessible poetry. Verses aims to be a voice for the poetic underground, regardless of topic, style, or technique—as long as the poems are good. The current issue is always free and exclusively physical. Each monthly Issue of Verses is made up of submissions (the editors are always accepting and reviewing).
Tips From the Editor
Submissions are open to anyone, and accepted poems are those that display a love of poetry for poetry’s sake.
