How can I submit poetry to the Poetry Porch?
The editors at the Poetry Porch are not reading manuscripts at this time. Unsolicited
manuscripts will not be considered until further notice.
How long before the author is notified about the status of his or
her work?
Response varies.
How much of the work on the Poetry Porch has been previously published?
The Poetry Porch posts some previously published work, especially if
it appeared in magazines or books with small distribution. More and more,
however, we are interested in publishing new and original work. Sonnets
submitted for acceptance on the Sonnet Scroll must be original and unpublished.
How often is the Poetry Porch updated? Does it have issues? How many
a year?
New issues, possibly with themes, come out irregularly. The Sonnet Scroll
is updated with new sonnets independently of these issues.
If I want to print out a poem or an essay, how should I go about
doing it?
The authors hold copyright to their works, and none of these works
can be reprinted without their permission. For your own use, however, you
may print out a poem or essay on the Poetry Porch, as long as you observe
the copyright of the author of each text and/or image. Be aware that the
files are in HTML and are not formatted for printing exactly as they appear
on the screen, so you may have to make adjustments for margins, page breaks,
etc. Please contact the editor if you experience problems printing these
texts.
Why are the poems all askew on my browser?
Set browser window so screen is 800 by 600 pixels, variable width font
at 12 points.
