Vallum is interested in original and previously unpublished work. Ideal submissions are well-crafted, fresh and edgy. We are committed to enriching and continuing the tradition of poetry in the present day. We welcome submissions that deepen our understanding of what poetry is and can be. We are open to most styles, whether experimental or traditional – though issues are usually put together with an underlying theme in mind, so not all poetry can be accepted, even if it is genius!
Submissions are accepted from October 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025. There is no fee to submit your work.
Submission Requirements:
Poems: Submit up to 3 poems, max 60 lines each.
Format: Please include your poem and a short poet’s bio in a single Word document.
Selection and Notification:
The selected poems will be published in the digital magazine, which will be featured on our website and social media.
We look forward to reading your poems and appreciate your interest in the POEMS FROM THE CROWD digital magazine.
GOOD LUCK!
