The Best Poetry Magazines and Literary Journals for Submissions

The HyperTexts

The Best Poetry Magazines and Literary Journals for Submissions (if you want "Recognition")

Please keep in mind that this list is, by definition, subjective, since "the best" is a matter of opinion. Also, by "best ... for submissions if you want 'recognition'" I mean just that. I am not saying that these journals are "better" than other journals, only that being published by them may be better from a "recognition" standpoint than being published by less-well-known outlets. Circulation figures are approximate, are for reference only, and are likely to be out of date. I have bolded the submission info pages for publishers who accept online and/or email submissions. I have also ranked the publications primarily by circulation (if over 10,000 subscribers), then by general reputation, prestige and major awards (such as Pushcart Prize winners, poems in the Best American Poetry series, etc.).

Happy hunting! But please be realistic, because if you have not yet mastered English grammar and punctuation, you have little chance of being published by the magazines and journals below.

The Top Markets for Unknown, Under-Known, Unpublished and Emerging Poets

Here, we identify literary journals that have a reputation for giving unknown, under-known, unpublished and emerging poets a fair shot.

Rattle www.rattle.com

The Lyric http://www.thelyricmagazine.com/submissions_all.html (formal/traditional poetry)

The Top Markets for Traditional, Formal, Metrical and Rhyming Poetry

While most contemporary poetry journals specialize in free verse, the most popular genre with readers remains traditional poetry. William Harmon in his introduction to The Classic Hundred All-Time Favorite Poems noted that only one of the hundred most popular poems is genuinely free verse. The other ninety-nine most popular poems all have fairly regular meter and/or rhyme. And the same is true of virtually all popular song lyrics: whether traditional, classic, folk, pop, rock, country, rockabilly, blues, jazz, reggae, rap, hip-hop, acid, headbanger, punk or grunge. Human audiences obviously still enjoy rhythm and rhyme. Here, then, are poetry journals that favor (or at least don't discriminate against) meter and rhyme.

The Lyric, founded in 1921, is the oldest American journal dedicated to traditional poetry https://thelyricmagazine.com/submitpoetry/
