We read submissions of poetry during the month of August. Please send a friendly number of poems in one MS Word attachment before August 31, 2009. Introduce yourself to us in the body of the email and feel free to include a list of previous publications, if any.

Send to octopusmagazine@gmail.com

All rights revert to the authors upon publication in Octopus, and the works can then be subsequently published, though we ask that Octopus get its props as the place of initial publication. We'll accept simultaneous submissions; just let us know if it is accepted elsewhere. We do not consider previously published work.
