There is a set submission period
with no early closures. Notice will be posted online when the
issue goes to print. This procedure gives everyone the same
opportunity to submit to Concise Delight and have their
submissions considered for the current issue. We publish a 7.5″
x 7.5″ paperback book. Information about each issue and excerpts
from each issue may be posted online in our
Concise Delight Poetry blog. Issues will be
archived online in due course.
EDITORIAL POLICY
Concise Delight Magazine of Short Poetry is a biannual
print journal dedicated to publishing the very best of very
short verse, from one to nine lines in length (not including
title). Many general interest poetry journals give little or no
space to very short verse; Concise Delight specializes in it.
Every short form, from one-line epigrammatic poems to three-tercet
poems, and free verse up to nine lines in length, are welcome.
We judge each poem on its own merits, not by formal compliance.
For example, when a poet submits a tercet, it is not judged by
any of the widely varying haiku standards, nor as
senryu, nor as zappai. It is evaluated for its
intrinsic poetic merit. Poems published in Concise Delight
will not be labeled nor categorized. This is not
a magazine about form; it is a magazine dedicated to top quality
very short verse.
Concise Delight
prefers poems that are written in a natural, modern, English
idiom with great care for the sound of the verse when spoken.
Artificial “poetic language” is not appreciated. Poems in sets
and sequences are not wanted. All selection decisions will be
made at the sole discretion of the editor.
NO SIMULTANEOUS
SUBMISSIONS: Please do not submit
anything on offer anywhere else. We are not in the market for
works under consideration for publication elsewhere. Please,
also, do not re-submit any work that Concise Delight
has turned down previously.
NOT PREVIOUSLY
PUBLISHED: We primarily seek to
publish fine poems that have not been
previously published. Each poet is personally responsible for
noting in the submission any previous publication of any
submitted work. We, of course, reserve the discretion to select
previously published work of extraordinary merit, from time to
time.
PLEASE NOTE:
This is an edited magazine. We DO NOT publish everything that is
submitted to us. We reserve the right to exercise editorial
discretion in ALL cases. If, for any reason, you cannot cope
with rejection, better not to make submissions. We use only a
portion of the submissions that we receive. We do occasionally
publish poets who have previously been published in Concise
Delight; that does not mean that anyone has carte blanche
to be published here.
HOW TO SUBMIT FOR
CONCISE DELIGHT
You may submit up to ten poems at one time. Send us only one
submission during an open reading period. We may publish as few
as 1 or 2 poems or a larger number. Please do NOT send us works
that are still in work. Please send us polished works,
error-free. Make your submission by sending your poems in to
Concise Delight in the body of an email.
Do NOT send any attachments. Emails
with attachments will be deleted. If you need
clarification, or have a special situation you want to discuss,
please feel free to write to the Editor at editor@concisedelight.com.
