And what would be a poem arranged as a song, one might reasonably ask?
Loreena McKennitt's adaptation of Tennyson's "The Lady of Shalott" is a good example.
We're quite happy with the issue. In addition to our usual poetry and art, we also have a critical essay and - new for us - music tracks.
Speaking of which, the June issue is open for music tracks. Any genre. Poems arranged as songs would be on point.
Right on schedule, our April issue is full!
The last few acceptances will go out this week.
And that means we're now open for the June issue:

It's best to submit early.

Right on schedule, our April issue is half full.
Longer form poetry and more prose poetry subs would be nice.
