Magazine
Orchards Poetry Journal
The Orchards Poetry Journal, published biannually in print and online by Kelsay Books, showcases both rhymed verse in traditional forms and finely wrought free verse. Submissions are completely free via email, and the editors welcome both unpublished and previously published poems for which the author retains reprint rights. Each issue nominates three poems for the Pushcart Prize and awards two poems the Grantchester Award with cash prizes of $50 and $30.
