Please Note: We are closed to submissions until May, 2009. Alba accepts original, previously unpublished submissions via email (albaeditor@yahoo.com). We do not accept paper submissions. We publish short poetry twelve or fewer lines in length (though we may make occasional exceptions to this rule). We have a preference for free verse as opposed to established forms such as haiku and tanka. Here are some of our favorite poets: Ezra Pound, Kobayashi Yatarô, Emily Dickinson, Matsuo Kinsaku, e.e. cummings, William Carlos Williams, William Stafford, and Duane Ackerson. Please include the word "SUBMISSION" (in caps) on the subject header of your email. All submissions must be included in the body of your email. Please do not send attached files. We cannot consider submissions received as attachments. Alba acquires exclusive first-time Internet rights. Poems will also be archived online. All other rights revert to the author. We are open to submissions year round. We are not a paying market. Our usual response time is two to three months. |
