If you are a poet, prophet, peace-loving artist, if you are tolerant, traditional or anarchistic, haiku or epic, and points in between; 
if your poems sing, shout, whisper, dance, scratch, tickle, trot or crawl;  if you value the humane treatment of every creature
and the planet on which we dwell, SoFloPoJo seeks your best work.


What do we mean when we say "your best work?" Or that we seek well-crafted poems that are thematically complex, emotionally nuanced, or "in your face,"
filled with images that excite wonder, mystery and dread, and challenge the reader to question their assumptions?
We invite you to check out our 
Nominations page to see some of what excited our editors.

SoFloPoJo reads year round. We publish quarterly:
​February, May, August and November. ​
There are NO READING FEES.
​All Poetry, Essay, Flash Fiction, & Video submissions
​should be submitted through our Submittable page.
After reviewing our guidelines please use the SUBMIT button at the bottom of this page.



Thank you for thinking of South Florida Poetry Journal as an opportunity to showcase your work. We want poetry, flash fiction and essays that inspire, stimulate, evoke, emote, shock and surprise. We want poetry performed well on video that is dynamic and exciting.  Transport us by your words to wondrous and strange places, and familiar places that you have made new. Please send us your best work. 
SoFloPoJo is a no fee, no pay, no paywall, self-funded publication.
