Which format do you prefer for publishing poetry?

As our first window is just around the corner, here are some guidelines so you can prepare that sweet submission 💌 We can’t wait to read your poems!

Hello, my lovelies. Issue 7: memento mori is alive and available for your reading pleasure: tinywrenlit.com/issue-7 My thanks to all of you wrensters for sharing your poetry!

Writers, what are your favorite mags or journals to submit to? And why?
