| Information about your publication: | The Aurorean has been featured in Poet?s Market and several-times recommended as a ?Pick? by the prestigious Small Press Review, most recently for its 10th Anniversary Issue (Fall/Winter 2010?2011). SPR has said of the Aurorean: ?a journal that has both high production values and quality poetry … perfect to elevate you from the dark night of the soul.? In January of 2011, NewPages reviewer Sima Rabinowitz said of our 15th Anniversary Issue: “This little journal will fill you up.” Our focus is always poetry of New England, and poetry of the seasons (including haiku) although we are open to other subjects as well. In a world full of angst, we publish poetry that uplifts, inspires, and is meditational, but is not religious or denominational, as we are ever mindful of diversity. The Aurorean routinely publishes the biggest names in the small press, such as Lyn Lifshin, and B.Z. Niditch. We are just as proud of publishing the work of first-time poets. |
| What type of submissions you are looking for: | We seek your original poetry that is inspirational, meditational and regional (pertaining to the Northeast). Although these are our focus, we are open to subject matter as well as varied forms and style. We evaluate poetry on several levels including its skillful use of poetic craft; its ability to hold interest; its layers of meaning. We do not publish anything hateful, overly religious or vulgar. We use very few rhyming or love poems. We are especially interested in positiveness, recovery and nature, as well as haiku. We often need short poems (up to six lines). We do not review simultaneous submissions or previously published poems*. |
