Call for Prose Poems, VIII

Please include up to THREE unpublished PROSE POEMS in one document, one poem per page, each poem no more than 500 words. Reading our current prose poem issue and this from the Ether column is a great way to determine if your work might be right for us AND for knowing how we consider a prose poem as different from other short forms--flash fiction and lyric/brief memoir.

We recommended former US Poet Laureate Rita Dove's prose poem, "Prose in a Small Space" as both exemplar and informational to the prose poetry sensibility. Better still, we offer seven past Prose Poem issues in our DMQ Review Archives for examples of what we do publish here.

ALSO: We are looking for the work of humans only.

Submissions are open April 1, 2025 until midnight May 31, 2025 PDT, or sooner at our discretion.  

Submit your best work early. DMQ Review reserves the right to close submissions when our capacity is reached. This will be announced on our Facebook page. Follow us there.  

Thanks for thinking of DMQ Review and entrusting us with your work. We look forward to reading it!
