tiny wren lit focuses on tiny poems + tiny issues (2-3 times per year). Readers can download each issue in a zine format. Home of the tiny zine. SUBS CLOSED.
Because you asked so nicely, we're extending submissions for tiny wren's 2nd print anthology another week. Let's have some more poems on the concept of memory. Cheers.
Keep sending along your tiny "Self-Portrait As" poems. How tiny? Here's info from our FAQ:
Poems fifteen (15) lines in length or under (including stanza breaks). Five (5) to ten (10) lines are our sweet spot. Each line should have no more than 25 characters + spaces. 🪺
We received 84 manuscripts. One lucky poet had their chap accepted by another press. Congrats! Our first task involved identifying our top 25. Not easy!
Take a look at past issues (online) to get a sense of what we like in a tiny poem.
Contributor Jennifer Brown (Issue 4; All Poems Are Ghosts Anthology) has a forthcoming tiny chap (whisper song) coming out soon with tiny wren lit.
