Poetry gets short shrift in most magazines aimed at working writers. Legitimate poetry markets can be hard to find, and the most well-known are heavily inundated with submissions. We”re going to help. Starting today, every Tuesday Poems and Poetry will feature three poetry markets to which you can submit your poems, along with links to the submission guidelines and any pertinent information on the publication.

Their submission guidelines state: While we hope we will always be open to new ideas, it seems unlikely that we will develop an interest in formula romance or sing-song verse.
