Light
Light is a nonprofit, nonpartisan online journal of light verse founded in 1992 by John Mella under the name Light Quarterly and edited by Melissa Balmain. Publishing twice-yearly issues alongside topical Poems of the Week and book reviews, the magazine welcomes both formal and free verse designed to make readers laugh. Submissions are accepted year-round via Submittable, and poems from its pages have been selected for the Pushcart Prize.
