Phoebe – Winter 2025 Print Issue, 54.1 (Poetry)

phoebe is now accepting submissions for its winter 2025 print issue, 54.1.

As poets, we love to see poems that are aware of themselves in relation to the world around them. Specifically, we like to read poems with an awareness of self and place, and how language, image, and form amplify both. We love poems that make smart use of lines. Send us poems that you are proud to have written, send us poems that tell a narrative, send us poems that leave the reader stunned. We look forward to reading your submissions.
