About

Asked about what technology can still do for poetry, Amy King said: “If every poet were to record just one book of poems that they loved for the rest of us to listen to, and not just their own poems, how excellent would that be?” This project is my response to that suggestion, helped greatly along the way by Dave Bonta’s generous technical and creative assistance. My idea is to record and post readings of a range of contemporary poems, selected through a mixture of solicitations and submissions (self- and third-party). The recordings are posted, archived and indexed on this blog, and Whale Sound is also available as a free downloadable iTunes podcast (click here to subscribe). Links to poem texts available elsewhere online are posted, but no text is posted on the blog itself.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
