Connecticut River Review
a national poetry journal...
published by the Connecticut Poetry Society
Connecticut River Review is the official poetry journal of The Connecticut Poetry Society, the only statewide poetry society in Connecticut. CPS was founded in 1975 and is a member of The National Federation of State Poetry Societies (NFSPS). Connecticut River Review solicits poetry for publication in the annual journal during a reading period of January through April each year. The journal also publishes winning poems from several CPS poetry contests.
CPS members as well as non-members are invited to submit poems for consideration. Book reviews are solicited by the editor. The editor is the sole arbiter of which poems to publish. In general, the selection standard is excellence in poetic form. Poems may be on any topic. Poets published in CRR come from all over the country. CRR accepts simultaneous submissions, but asks for notice of acceptance elsewhere.
Submissions should be unpublished original poems, no translations, typed, single-spaced, with complete contact information on each poem. Send 3-5 poems, not to exceed 5 pages. Please include a cover letter.
Enclose a SASE, for notification only; no poems will be returned. Poets whose work is published receive one copy as payment and retain the copyright. CPS members receive one copy as part of their membership benefits. Additional copies can be ordered.
The current editor, Lisa Siedlarz for 2011, was selected by the board of CPS, as was Editor for 2012 CRR, Patricia Mottola.
Reading period: January 1, 2012 to April 15, 2012
