2022 Open Poetry eEdition
ISSN: 1541-1923
(2002 - 2022)
New guidelines - please review before submitting.
We are interested in works that have the courage to acknowledge, challenge, and celebrate modern Jewish life beyond distinctions of secular and sacred. We like accessible works that find fresh meaning in old traditions that recognize the challenges of our generation. We evaluate works on several levels, including their skillful use of craft, their ability to hold interest, and layers of meaning.
