Brink Issue no. 13 Poetry

Guidelines:

We’re looking for poems made of surprising, evocative language—poems that create their own atmospheres, that display formal adventurousness, that emerge from an emotional core and enact the tensions of being human. We’re interested in lyricism, in lists, in constellated images, in broken forms, in old forms made new and strange, in mixtapes, in multiple registers, in documentary records, in rhythmic lineations and rests, in hybrid richness. Send us magnetic, compelling work that expands our understanding of what a poem can be.

Please send us 3-5 unpublished poems, totaling no more than 10 pages, in a single document.

We prefer doc or docx unless your piece requires PDF to maintain its shape.

Simultaneous submissions are allowed but please notify us through Submittable if your work is accepted elsewhere. If you are a previous contributor, please wait two years before submitting again.

We look forward to reading your poems!
