Calls for Submissions
Racism, fascism, genocide, and race-based misogyny are deeply interconnected. These ideologies often share common roots, used to justify systemic violence and oppression. The results of America’s 2024 election make clear the tragic allegiance of significant segments of our population to these destructive forces.
In light of this, and in keeping with TSPJ’s ongoing commitment to fight for justice, we welcome finely crafted poems that address the issue of mitigating social injustice in the United States. Please submit no more than three poems, either in English or Spanish, on or after January 1st, 2025, for publishing consideration. Frame your work in a single Word doc, .docx, .rtf, .pdf or .txt file.

The Skinny Poetry Journal (TSPJ) is also calling for poems, Skinnys or otherwise, that honor the great electric slide and dance of friction that is life--especially poems that reverence the vital living pulse of all people--all colors, all Latinx familia, all English flowered furious fam--all LBGQT+ pens, all faiths--or lack thereof--all politics, all homo sapiens hooked on the composition of finely-crafted work imbued with unapologetic authenticity. Up to three poems can be submitted for publishing consideration, attached as a single Word doc, .docx, .rtf, .pdf or .txt file.
