Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
delicate emissions poetry zine is a quarterly, brochure-sized zine that publishes poems of fifteen or fewer lines. We're queer-run, anti-racist, pro-trans, and pro-liberation in our philosophy; though our poems aren't necessarily explicitly about those ideas, they definitely don't defy them. In 2025, we moved to accepting submissions that may have been self-published by a poet on their own social media sites. This is an effort to embrace the new realities of publishing, and to push back against publications who would turn their nose up at any kind of self-publishing while also refusing to accept a submission that a poet had published on their own Instagram account or blog. We're proud to feature work by established poets as well as those who are new to being published. We provide a contributor's copy to each poet with accepted work (so long as they provide us with a mailing address). Our goal is to become a paying market in the future through subscription payments and donations. Physical copies of the zine are available in our Ko-Fi store, and an online issue is published and linked on our LinkTree.
