Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
If you are poet, prophet, peace-loving, tolerant, traditional or anarchistic, haiku or epic, and points in between; if your poems sing, shout, whisper, dance, trot or crawl; if you value the humane treatment of every creature and the planet on which we dwell,

Submissions Policy
We request submissions of up to three previously unpublished poems. We do not charge a submission or reading fee. We read year-round and reply, at the longest, within four months and do not publish work by current SoFloPoJo staff. Submissions are reviewed by staff. Amateur work is gently rejected. Work that passes the gatekeepers is circulated among three to five SoFloPoJo readers. Final decisions are made by the four Senior Editors: Lenny DellaRocca, Judy Ireland, Meryl Stratford, & Michael Mackin O'Mara.
