is there a thread here where people post some of their poetry?

Yes, the critique area is accessible to any registered user. Even if you don't post anything of your own, everyone who puts work there is looking for feedback--praiseworthy or otherwise--so please chime in.

If you're just looking to peruse styles, the haiku, cinquain, and triolet threads are fun reads in the public area.

As I am new to the idea of submitting poetry as well as the AW site. I joined because of the desire to submit my greeting card ideas, but have decided to submit some of my poetry too. I am really bedazzled and appreciative of this thread. The links here are just a jackpot of information.

I've noticed that none have mentioned how to thoroughly check out whether a link's main website is actually dead. Sometimes, just the specific link is dead. If you take the front domain portion of the web address, you might find the main website page is alive and kicking. Then it is just a matter of finding the submit/writer guidelines.

For example, earlier in this thread, the submission guidelines for PISM
were reported as the following link; " http://prism.arts.ubc.ca/submit/index.htm ," which is dead,
but " http://prism.arts.ubc.ca/ " is alive!

Hi everyone. I'm the fiction editor for Fugue, and I'm just stopping in to let you guys know about our contest. We're a print literary journal, and the poetry prize is $1000. Oh, and I'm publicizing it because we're low on entries this year, which means you have a better than average chance of winning!

Here's the link: http://www.uiweb.uidaho.edu/fugue/contest.html
Contest

The Prize:
First place winners receive $1,000, publication and a year's subscription. Runners-up will be considered for publication and will receive a year's subscription.

Mayfly is a small haiku magazine that pays $10 for each haiku they accept via snail mail. I had a haiku published with them last year so I can verify that they pay. The competition is fierce because they only publish 14 or 15 haiku per issue and two issues per year, but hey, it never hurts to try.

AMARK,

You could state in your submission, as they've said they'd prefer, that the piece is under consideration elsewhere; if they said they review simul-subs, they're not going to overlook the work--it just means that the situation is noted that it could end up in another magazine, but the contributor was polite and courteous enough to inform ahead of time rather than pull away last minute.

You can always not say and hope that your poems only get accepted by one of the outlets you've submitted it to--and run the risk of minor agitation to the editor by withdrawing it if it does get accepted elsewhere, having not mentioned it before hand.

On the other hand, you could simply only submit to one editorial team at a time--write 10 poems, submit 2 at a time, wait for a response, re-sub rejected poems elsewhere, operate a manageable submissions pool.

Thanks Kie....

By the way, the deadline for Mayfly's Summer issue is May 15 and since it's snail mail, anyone interested might want to go ahead and submit before that time (I think as long as it's postmarked May 15th, it's okay). Good luck!

Raven Chronicles: http://ravenchronicles.org/raven/rvsubm.html

Accepts poems and pays 2 contributor copies plus $10 to $40 (on publication) according to the website, although they admit payment may not always be possible.

The Epiphanist - http://epiphanistzine.com/submissions/

They publish mostly speculative pieces. Poetry is a flat rate of $2 per poem.

Are there any markets at the moment that specifically take epic poetry of a science fiction nature?

Abyss & Apex publishes speculative poetry of any length and they pay $5 per poem. Their next reading period is in June.

Ideomancer also does not have a line limit on poetry, and they pay $6 per poem. Their next reading period is in March.

Finding paying markets for poetry could be difficult.
If you feel strongly about yoru material, I suggest to e-publish it yourself. A good free palce to do so is Createspace.
I've done so myself and it is good to be able to refer to a site where one's material is available, unless one is set on getting some sort of payment. Better to have stuff online I feel, than a bunch of rejection letters / e-mails, if any.

Have never seen createspace before, oh it's with amazon, though then you need to do all the advertising yourself.
