International Poetry Review (IPR)

International Poetry Review accepts previously unpublished poetry, fiction, literary nonfiction, and short essays. Works in translation will appear in a bilingual-facing format. We do not rigidly adhere to any one school of translation theory and welcome various styles.

To encourage younger authors, International Poetry Review dedicates a section to works written and/or translated by university students, both graduate and undergraduate and by recent graduates. Students in MFA programs are particularly invited to submit their work.

Poetry. Please submit no more than 3 poems. Note that the journal size is 5 ½“ by 8 ¼” (not accounting for margin space), so lines longer than this must be wrapped. Please format your submission so that the original follows the translation for each poem.

Fiction. We accept micro and flash fiction of no more than 500 words.

Nonfiction. We accept literary nonfiction and short essays of no more than 1,000 words.
