By Trish Hopkinson on September 19, 2017 • ( 7 Comments )

The listings below are literary magazines/journals that are known for taking poetry on current event topics.

These literary magazines/journals are listed alphabetically; some are currently accepting submissions, some are temporarily closed. I've also included whether or not it is a paying market in the notes column. These lit mags/journals also fit the following criteria:

Generally do not charge fees to submit (although some may charge fees for some types of submissions and for contests).
They accept poetry submissions.
All accept electronic submissions.

If you have suggestions for lit mags/journals I've missed, please contact me here or leave a comment below.
