Submissions

Submissions of poems, poetry films, or poetry posters are welcome from Central Ohio residents. You don’t have to be a student. Anyone who lives in our community is welcome to share and submit a poem!

(We also have room for poems by poets from other states and around the world, but these are by solicitation only.)

Please send up to 3 poems and a 50 word bio. If you have a poetry film please send a link from YouTube.

You can send submissions to Thompson.3022@osu.edu
