POETRY

We review poetry on a rolling basis, but ask that you please not submit more than twice in a twelve-month period. You may send up to six poems (in a single document) per submission. Our response time is usually around six months, but may be longer. 

We are interested in original, unpublished poetry. We do not consider work that has appeared elsewhere. This includes websites and personal blogs, even if a posting has been removed prior to submission.

We do consider translations, so long as the poem has not been published in English translation before. The original text may have been published elsewhere. 

Simultaneous submissions are welcome, provided that you notify us promptly if a poem has been accepted by another publication. If you need to withdraw individual poems from consideration, please click on the title of your submission; click on the "Messages" tab; and send a message detailing which poem(s) should be withdrawn. (Do not use the "Note" tab for this purpose—Submittable "Notes" are viewable only by the submitter, and information you enter as a note will not reach our team.) Please only use the "Withdraw" function if you intend to remove all poems from consideration.

Thank you for your interest in contributing to The New Yorker. We look forward to reading your poems.
