Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Shō Poetry Journal is an Arizona-based biannual print journal revived in 2023 after a twenty-year hibernation. We publish an eclectic array of poetry by a diverse range of poets and release online audio features on a rolling basis. We strive to champion voices that have been historically underrepresented or overlooked. All work accepted for publication from US residents is considered for two editors' prizes. Poets published in Shō Poetry Journal include Chen Chen, Erica Dawson, Saddiq Dzukogi, Ally Ang, Carlos Andrés Gomez, Cortney Lamar Charleston, Casandra López, Jose Hernandez Diaz, M. Cynthia Cheung, Alison Pelegrin, and many other brilliant voices. Work published in Shō Poetry Journal has been anthologized in Best New Poets, Verse Daily, and Best Spiritual Literature.
