Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Here at Last Leaves we believe that poetry is rooted in community. We know that sharing your work can be difficult, so we aim to provide a space where you can be proud of your words and revel in the words of others. In lieu of poe-jams and coffee shop workshops, we’ve created an online space for the celebration of great poetry. We don’t have a type. Send us your beautiful, send us your raw, send us your quirky, send us your best. ​ In the words of a great professor: “Poetry should be a movie you can taste and smell.” We want images and emotion. We want poetry that sticks with us and makes us think and feel. We don’t care if this is your first poem or if you’ve been published 100 times before. Just send us your work!
Accepts Unsolicited Submissions
Yes
What Do You Look For In A Submission?
Something that makes us think, something that makes us feel. Bonus points if the piece does both. We love work that breaks the bounds of what we know "poetry" to be, work that takes our theme and twists it into something unexpectedly connected.
