About

We chose the Triggerfish for its characteristic of blowing over sea urchins with a jet of water to get at the bottom below the spines, or fighting past them and through the shell, to get at its meat. As a journal, it's our intention to follow suit with the work we choose to publish. The intention isn’t to demonstrate the worth of these poems–the gray area of sensibility and taste–but to talk about how we read them and why we want you to read them. One way we do this is by inviting each issue's contributors to review/respond to their choice of one or more poems in an issue. Check out our current and past issues online to see what that looks like. Each issue also features the work of one artist, along with an interview or artist's statement.

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.
