THANKS FOR CONTINUING TO TRUST CACTI FUR AS YOUR POETRY DRY GROUND!!!!
~~~
Thanks for considering Cacti Fur as a possible home for your poetry.
The only way to know if your poems will fit in here is to send them.
Your work may be selected for our blogroll which we post new every Wednesday.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
As of 2023, we want Cacti Fur to be a safe place to be clean and sober from drugs and alcohol. A safe place to say something about drugs and alcohol from the recovered side of the addiction and abuse. We are not interested in work that glorifies drugs and alcohol.
Include all poems in the body of your email.
We prefer all lines left justified and we prefer no stanza breaks because that’s easier for us to publish due to technical limitations on our side due to financial limitations on our side.
A cover letter is optional; if you do include a cover letter, put it at the end of your poems and tell us something unique about yourself. A Pushcart only matters if you won. We don’t need a list of your previous publications. You can tell us where to find you online if you wish.
Simultaneous submissions are welcome.
Please allow up to 3 months for a response.
If your poem(s) are selected for publication, please wait one year to submit again.
