Tupelo Quarterly

Time to take the leap and submit your poetry and prose. You know you've been thinking about it.

Tupelo Press has long published beautiful books of poetry and literary fiction, and now they have launched a stellar literary magazine, Tupelo Quarterly, which aims to be -- as poet and Editor in Chief, Jessamyn Smyth, says -- "a home for all things beautiful, brilliant, and generous of spirit."

Amen. I think we could all use a little more of that.

I am delighted to serve Jessamyn as Senior Prose Editor, along with writers E.J. Levy and Eric Darton. Have a look at the ridiculously talented masthead here.

Our first issue launches in October, but in the meantime, submit your best poetry to our contest, judged by Ilya Kaminsky!  The deadline is August 15th.

Come on, poets. Be brave and submit!
