WE ARE CURRENTLY OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS

Submit Your Work to Bloodroot

We are looking for poems that are startling, quietly profound, and well-crafted. Whether your work is in conversation with art, history, or moments of transformation, we want to see the world through your eyes.

Anonymity: IMPORTANT: Remove your name and all identifying information from the manuscript itself (including headers and footers). We judge poems on their merit, not your bio.
