New Journal of Christian Verse Seeks Submissions
Vineyards: A Journal of Christian Poetry, publishing its inaugural issue in early 2010, seeks high quality, original poetry in the tradition of Donne, Herbert, Hopkins, Thompson, Eliot, Anne Sexton, Kelly Cherry, Scott Cairns, etc. We are looking for sacramental poetry that challenges the mind and the soul. Vineyard does not want greeting card sentimentality but poems that display the technical mastery and creative fervor that characterize work in esteemed secular journals. Send only hard copy (no e-submissions) of 3-4 original, not previously published, poems (under 30 lines each). Do not enclose a SASE; we will not return or comment on rejected poems. Send a postcard if you want to acknowledge submission. If you have not heard from Vineyards in 3 months, assume your work is no longer under consideration. Send submissions to: Philip C. Kolin, Editor, Vineyards, Dept. of English, Univ. of Southern Mississippi, Hattiesburg, MS 39406-5037.
