Poetic Sun is back! We apologize for our delayed response! Poetic Sun was experiencing a shortage of staff in May. But we will reopen our submission window and catch up on emails in September. We will keep you posted!
Please send all submissions to [email protected]
Please report your submission to Duotrope.

We do not have a specific taste for poetry
​as we believe that every poet has a unique style to write and think
​we do not want to destroy that

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR :

• ​We like poems with concrete imagery and strong emotions; We like poems that surprise us and make us weep like soft children; We like beautiful music flowing in your lines.
• We accept poetry and creative non-fiction. 
• We accept both Chinese and English poems.
• We welcome submissions from all people and places

WHAT WE DO NOT ACCEPT : 

• ​​Work that promotes or excuses any form of bigotry, including but not limited to racism, misogyny, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, & ableism.
