What kind of work the Editor looks for:
- Poems that are deeply felt and well-crafted
- Essays/reviews
that are challenging, original and well-constructed.
It is hoped to develop a lively critical forum
within the pages of Agenda and online.
What kind of
work the Editor would like to see less of:
- Oversentimental, cliché-ridden poetry;
poetry with dumdidum rhymes that boss the
poet into using particular words just for the
sake
of the pat rhymes; poetry that is badly crafted
and too prosaic, and poetry that does not
come from the heart
- Essays/reviews that use academic jargon ad
nauseam, have too few examples, too few quotations.
- Essays
that are too obsequious, too obviously pandering
to the writer in question.
Up
to fifty poems are published in an issue, depending
on whether it is a double or a single
issue, and up to as many as 20 books are reviewed.
Several essays are usually included also. Around
25 poems appear on each online Broadsheet.
Send no more than six poems or two essays/reviews,
with address,e-mail address,age and a short biography.
Submissions for the magazine and for the online
Broadsheets should
be sent in the first instance by post with a large stamped addressed envelope to the Editor, and, important, your email address.
