Introduction
I’ve made a list of high-acceptance poetry magazines to give new and emerging poets a clear path forward. I’m happy to say that Vita Brevis has since springboarded hundreds of new poets into magazines around the world.
And though I mostly provide resources for poets who are still finding their footing, I figure I should add another index.
So, here is a collection of respected poetry magazines. They have much lower acceptance rates, but they still aren’t top-of-the-line publications like Harper or the New Yorker.
Regardless, they’re very impressive and, if you’ve been able to get published in magazines on the other list, then you should really give these a shot!

Thanks. I’d also highly recommend Cape Town’s Stanzas: https://www.afsun.co.za/stanzas/
I’ll look into it — thanks for the lead!
Thanks so much for all of the lists, Brian–and for all you do. I don’t know if I wished you Happy New Year–so, Happy New Year! 🙂
Of course, Merril! Happy New Year to you, too 🙂
Thank you Brian and Happy New Year!!
Wow. It’s a competitive pursuit then. Ihave also seen (a lot of) rates lower than half a percent. Thanks for this list, you have given me plenty to strive for!
Vita Brevis will horizon many of these.
Thank you, Brian, for providing this valuable resource
