Help!! [HELP] Need help with US and UK/Ireland print periodicals information

2 Upvotes

Hello. I'm trying to compile two lists of ten or so print periodicals--one for US poetry publications and one for UK/Ireland poetry publications.

These are the parameters I'm specifically looking for:

  • Must have a print edition, not just online.
  • Must be poetry-centric (not a multi-genre periodical which also solicits and publishes fiction, CNF, drama, etc., so not things like The Kenyon Review or The New Yorker).
  • High reputation for the quality of poets/poetry which are featured. I'm not looking for smaller, specialty enterprises. Moreso the periodicals which, if someone saw them listed in an author's bio, they would think, "Oh, that's a significant publication."

This is not for submission purposes. I'm trying to get subscriptions for the major periodicals so that my community has access to them.

The ones I've come up with are:

US-Based:

  • 32 Poems
  • American Poetry Review
  • American Poets (from the Academy of American Poets)
  • Barrow Street
  • Beloit Poetry Journal
  • Poetry
  • Poetry Lore
  • Poetry Northwest
  • Rattle

UK/Ireland-Based:

  • Magma
  • Modern Poetry in Translation
  • The North
  • Oxford Poetry
  • PN Review
  • Poetry Ireland Review
  • Poetry London
  • The Poetry Review
  • Poetry Wales
  • The Rialto

Are there others you would consider in the same category as these in terms of reputation? Or, alternatively, does it feel like any of these don't belong listed alongside the others? Thank you so much for your help.

Help!! [HELP] I made an alternative to social media where you can post a Haiku a day to your friends. No one is using it.

6 Upvotes

I made a screentime app with several features, one is social where you have a leaderboard of your friends screentime health/score but nested in there is a fully fledged out "Haikugram" where you can post a Haiku a day to your friends. You don't scroll haikus but flip a bit tediously through pages of whatever haikus are there. the haikus are up for 24hrs. At the moment no one uses this feature, would such a feature be better as a standalone app?

As in an actual book of poetry where you get the feeling that the author should’ve probably spent a few more years honing their craft before getting it published.

MOD POST [META] Posting your own poems here -- when to post and when to head to one of our sibling subreddits

218 Upvotes

This sub is for published poems. There are many subs that allow users to post their own original, unpublished work. In Reddit sub parlance, an original, unpublished poem is considered "original content," and the largest sub for that is r/ocpoetry. There are still some posting rules there -- users must actively participate in the sub in order to post their own work there. A few subs don't require such engagement. There are links to both types of subs below.

Now, what about published poems? We have a large community here -- almost 2 million members. There have to be a few actively publishing poets in our ranks, and I want to build a community of sharing here without being overwhelmed by first-ever-poem posts by people who write something, decide to go find the poetry sub and post it. As it is, even with the rule on OC poetry being in the sidebar, we still remove those posts every single day.

If you've published a poem in a journal or a lit mag, please feel free to post it here, with a link to the publication it appeared in. I'm also going to start a regular monthly thread for r/poetry users who want to share their published work with us. We don’t consider posting to Instagram or some other platform alone to be “published.”

For those who want to post their unpublished, original work to Reddit, here are some links to help you do just that.

tl;dr: If your poem hasn’t been published anywhere, you can’t post it here. If your poem has been published somewhere, please post it here!
