Entropy is a “website featuring literary & non-literary content. A website that seeks to engage with the literary community, that becomes its own community, and creates a space for literary & non-literary ideas.”
Earlier this month they posted an article on where to submit in December and January. They’ve also included a special section for post-election themed submission calls. Click here to read the complete article. I’ve filtered the list below to those whose deadlines have not yet past, have no fees, and accept poetry submissions. There are some paying markets. Read all the guidelines carefully before submitting your work.
If you run a lit mag/journal and have a submission call you want added to the Entropy list, send it in similar format to these listings to Dennis James Sweeney here: dennis@entropymag.org
The following listings from the article are still open, have no fees, and accept poetry submissions:

Depends on the cookies. My mother’s oatmeal raisin cookies are something to die for.
But really, this is a pretty sweet list to have on hand. Thanks!
