MAD POETS REVIEW IS NOT ACCEPTING SUBMISSIONS AT THIS TIME.

THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST.

The Mad Poets Society publishes an annual literary journal, The Mad Poets Review. You need not be a member to submit work.

Our primary purpose is to promote thought-provoking, moving poetry and encourage beginning poets. We don't care if you have a 'name' or a publishing history if your poetry is well-crafted. We are anxious for work with 'joie de vivre' that startles and inspires. No restrictions on subject, form or style. Just because our name is MAD Poets Review, that does not mean we want mad ramblings masquerading under the guise of poetry.

MPR has published thousands of poets including former U.S. Poet Laureates Billy Collins and Daniel Hoffman, Gerald Stern, Naomi Shihab Nye, Louis McKee, Paul Martin, Harry Humes, Elaine Terranova, BZ Nidith, Molly Russakoff, WD Ehrhart, Sue Walker, Nathalie Anderson, JC Todd, Alicia Askenase, Tom Devaney, Jennifer MacPherson, Henry Braun,  Margaret Holley, Daniel Abdal Haay Moore, AV Christie, Greg Djanikian, Leonard Gontarek, Aaren Y. Perry, Daniel Moore, Jim Cory as well as other renowned poets.

Our reading periods for all categories is July 1 - December 31. No submissions will be accepted or read outside of the reading period. If you are interested in submitting, please review the guidelines for each submission category and follow them exactly. Outside of our submission period you can find guidelines on our website: www.madpoetssociety.com. All submissions in a partcular category should be made in ONE FILE.
