Dactylion Journal

There are presently no open calls for submissions.

Dactylion is a print and online journal of poetry. We publish more or less quarterly.
At Dactylion, we're interested in the unreal, the disruptive, the things that jolt our cold machine hearts. We want your spontaneous, your sprezzatura, but we also want the poems you've had to wrestle to the page. Let us see the evidence of those fights. We like dissection, disorder, language that's been torn to pieces. If you think your work has done this, send it to us! We want all your most sick and incredible poems.
  • Please submit up to five poems at a time.
  • Include a brief bio in your cover letter.
  • We accept simultaneous submissions. Let us know as soon as possible if it your work is accepted elsewhere. 
  • All rights revert to the author upon publication.
In short: SEND US YOUR POEMS! WE ARE SO UNBELIEVABLY READY TO READ THEM.
