Bone Bouquet seeks to publish the best new writing by female and non-binary poets, from artists both established and emerging. We are especially interested in work that breaks with tradition, creating new forms by dwelling in thought rather than seeking epiphany.
We accept submission of poetry, poetry reviews, and poetics statements--see each category for details. We only accept submissions via Submittable; emailed submissions will be deleted unread.
Simultaneous submissions are fine, as long as we are notified when work is accepted elsewhere. Please make a note of withdrawals using Submittable's "add a note to this submission" function. It is difficult to track emails about this matter; please do not email about withdrawals.
Bone Bouquet only accepts previously unpublished work; we request first electronic rights, and would like to archive your work on the site. Please note that your work first appeared in Bone Bouquet if it is reprinted elsewhere on the web or in print.
