Poetry Guidelines

            The publication guidelines are really quite simple:

          1.   Limit yourself to 5 poems at a time.
          2.   Style and form don’t matter--I don’t want to stifle anyone’s creativity.
          3.   Try to limit the length. I might accept a long poem if it seemed exceptional--but Calliope has only
                 so much space.
          4.   I’m open to any subject matter but do feel that language should meet certain regulations. I don’t
                 want to censor anyone, but I don’t think some of the “good old Anglo-Saxon” epithets are
                 necessary. I don’t think Calliope should intentionally offend.
          5.   Include a self-addressed, stamped envelope. This outfit is run on a shoestring! We can’t support
                 everyone’s publishing habits, and why should we? (I admit it -- I’m less likely to publish poems
                 sent without SASE.)Send Poetry to:
