Bones - a journal for the short poem
Published/not published: We consider works having been through an editorial process (by someone else than the author him/herself) as published. Works published on social media or private blogs are not considered published. We don't accept work under consideration elsewhere. All works must original. We advice any new submitters to read a few issues of the journal to get acquainted with what kind of haiku/writing BONES is all about. DON'T send your bio. IF you have read any of the previous issues you will see we focus on the poem rather than the poet. We are not interested in where you have been published, of past merits. What counts is the work you send us. (and we don't care how many cats you have or what odd dietary plan you cling to). Keep your submission simple!!!
