Where do we begin our dismantling?
New guidelines for poetry are now live at Strange Horizons!
We'd been working for some time with the guidelines left by the previous team of editors, which were technically accurate—no more than six poems per reading period, no simultaneous submissions, no attachments without checking first—but increasingly less representative of our tastes in poetry and goals for the department. We decided to change that. (To be pedantically honest,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rinue and ajodasso raised the question and I realized I'd just started telling people to ignore everything in the current set except the submissions address. And no simultaneous submissions. Seriously, we reject on sight for that.) New guidelines now reflect poets we actually like and the ways we feel about formal verse and science. We welcome experimental forms and diverse voices. We want stuff that transforms. We're pretty sure it's out there; we just hope it wants us, too.
Which reminds me: I'm still reading for the remainder of May. If you haven't sent me work, why not? If you know anyone who hasn't, ask them the same!

Also following links reminded me I still need to read Demonstra. Thank you for the reminder!

I realized my name was professionally attached to a document which claimed my favorite poets included C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. I couldn't have lived with myself.
Thank you for the reminder!
Welcome! And same. I loved Between Souls (2011) and I remain hopeful that "Full Metal Hanuman" will win some award.

I just assumed they belonged to one of the other editors' lists of favorites.

Thank you for being such a great poet we couldn't leave you out!

Er, I'm trying to suggest he submit them to Strange Horizons.

He can't if they were posted unlocked, unfortunately; that counts as prior publication. (It's the reason I have a writing filter.) Nothing is stopping him from writing more poems and sending them to Strange Horizons, though!

I seldom send you anything because I tend to post everything to LJ without thinking.

You are a very good poet.
