-WHAT WE WANT-
inkscrawl is seeking the finest fantastical short poetry — 10 lines or fewer. We are looking for poetry rooted in myth, folklore, surrealism, and magical realism. We prefer poems which possess emotional depth, lyricism and strong imagery. However, we are not interested in science fiction poetry or overtly horrific horror verse.
As we are a minimalist journal, we will only consider poetry of 10 lines or fewer. Within this length restriction, we are open to all forms; rhyme, though, is not encouraged. We welcome short forms, such as the haiku and cinquain, as well as experimental and prose poetry.
-READING PERIODS-
June 23rd - August 21st
