Eye on Life Magazine publishes three or four poems a week from the submissions we receive. We are looking for short to medium length poems, no forced rhymes or poems crammed into forms in which they clearly don’t belong. Ideally we want to see stunning imagery and/or meaning that cannot be fully contained by form, or form that actually and effortlessly works.

If accepted, your work will be published online in our Poetry Unlocked feature. We will send you a link so that you can view your work and tell us if any corrections are needed.  We will also be happy to post a link to other work you may have already published online.  

We do not pay for poetry submissions at this time. All rights revert to the poet upon publication. We respond to submissions usually in less than two weeks.

We look forward to seeing your work!

You can submit up to five previously unpublished poems by using our online form.
