If you’re just starting to put your poems out there, poetry journals with high acceptance rates are a good place to start. Getting your footing in approachable poetry journals like these can springboard you into grander opportunities.
Every week, Vita Brevis adds four of such journals to our growing list of approachable poetry magazines. (It’s well worth a bookmark!) Before you send off your submissions, make sure you read over my guide to poetry publication!

Those of us who have gotten to know you truly appreciate all you have done and are doing for poets and poetry. We thank you for supporting and encouraging us by letting us know these journals!
It’s wonderful to hear that you’ve found these resources so helpful, Walt! I’m trying to move Vita Brevis from a little poetry magazine to a poet’s resource as well! Glad to know you think I’m on the right track 🙂
Well, you’ve been very kind to this old soul and it js appreciated.
