Rumpus Original Poetry

Please submit 4-8 poems (up to 12 pages) in one Word .doc accompanied by a brief cover letter and third-person bio. Please only send 1 submission at a time and if you have a submission pending, please wait to submit again until you've received our decision on the pending submission. 

Work must be previously unpublished; this includes personal blogs/websites and social media.

While we embrace and consider poems with diverse page presentations, there may be situations where we are unable to accommodate poems with special formatting as seen on the page.

We encourage simultaneous submissions but request that this be noted in your cover letter. If poems in your submission are accepted elsewhere, please notify us through Submittable.

We look forward to reading your work!
