You may submit a single email containing 1-5 poems (e.g. haiku, senryu, tanka) or one haibun, tanka prose, or haiga per calendar month. Poems received in a given month will be considered for publication the following month, e.g. send your poems in March for possible April publication, etc.
Poems must be uncurated, original (no AI) and in English. We encourage translations alongside, but the quality of the English version will determine publication.
No e-mail attachments will be opened. Please send to: journalcoldmoon(at)gmail(dot)com.
All writing styles welcomed. We are happy to receive your artwork, particularly haiga sketches and black-and-white photographs.
Both acceptance and rejection notices are sent. New work is added to the blog several times a week.
You will never see anything here that suggests racism, violence or prejudice.
We nominate for various annual haiku and poetry awards.
