Jackdaw Review

Do you write poetry that shines? Do your words capture light and reflect the complexities of the human experience with clarity and grace? We invite you to submit your work for consideration.

Jackdaw Review is an online literary journal that seeks to publish poetry by emerging and established writers. We currently publish a quarterly review, and will be adding a monthly Haiku Review.

We are looking for poems that:

• possess a unique brilliance, whether through striking imagery, innovative language, or profound insight.

• linger in the reader's mind, evoking deep emotions and offering fresh perspectives.

• demonstrate a mastery of language and form, showcasing careful attention to detail and a dedication to the art of verse.

• explore a diverse range of themes and subjects, from the intimate to the universal, the quiet to the bold.

Submission Guidelines:

• Before submitting, please review our inaugural issue to understand our style and preferences. The flipbook is available through the link below.

• Please submit 3-5 poems in a single document.

• Each poem should be no longer than one page.

• Format your submission in 12pt Times New Roman font.

• All submissions must be made through Duosoma.

• We charge a fee of $3 per submission to support operating costs. Fee waivers are available for those experiencing financial hardship.

Jackdaw Press/Jackdaw Review is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive literary community. We encourage submissions from poets of all backgrounds and experiences.

Let your words shine. We look forward to discovering the luminous poetry you have to share.
