Magazine

Shō Poetry Journal has published poets such as Lyn Lifshin, William Packard, Jim Simmerman, Amy Uyematsu, Virgil Suárez, Gerald Locklin, Joan Jobe Smith, Fred Voss, and Robert L. Penick. We publish the best poetry we receive from emerging and established poets and are especially interested in promoting the work of historically underrepresented poets. In an age when more literary journals are going online, we are committed to remaining a print journal. Shō Poetry Journal is an imprint of Hohm Press (hohmpress.com), a nonprofit publisher of spiritual literature, health books, and poetry.

Shō welcomes submissions of previously unpublished poetry. Please do not send work that has previously appeared in a print journal, online journal, or on social media or a personal website. Submit up to five poems with a cover letter and brief third-person bio. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but please send us a message through Submittable if your work is accepted elsewhere. While we strongly prefer submissions to be made via Submittable, we accept paper submissions from incarcerated writers and those without stable internet access.
