Call for Submission of poems and reviews for ALL issues of Volume 26.
Cider Press Review, a journal of contemporary poetry, seeks to discover and publish the best of new poetry written in English—writing that showcases craft and substance, poetry that has something to say and says it beautifully. CPR actively seeks new original work and translations into English from both established and emerging poets. We especially encourage submissions from writers who are female, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ identifying, and/or otherwise from communities traditionally underrepresented in U.S. literary magazines and journals. Our only criterion is excellence.
The editors read submissions of individual poems from February 15 to May 31 each year. We also welcome reviews of full-length books of poetry in approximately 600-750 words. CPR is dedicated to reviewing books from independent, university, and small presses with a strong preference for books published within the previous year. We do not accept reviews that have appeared elsewhere, in whole or in part. All text style should be consistent with the Chicago Manual of Style. Reviews are considered year-round.
