Poetry

Poems can be of any length. If some verse lines are exceptionally long, it may necessary to have a line break. But this usually doesn't happen. If we encounter a problem with online formatting we will let you know. We recognize and cherish that the layout of the poem is part of the art. If you wish, you may submit up to 5 poems on one submission.

Litbreak prefers to publish poems in sets, to give a better idea of the poet's range. So if you submit five poems and we accept, we will want them all.

We don't allow the withdrawal of individual poems from a submission. If you wish, you can withdraw the whole submission if poems are accepted elsewhere.
