HOPKINSON: Tell me a little bit about Couplet Poetry.
LEHMANN: Couplet Poetry is a literary journal dedicated to reading and publishing two poems per author, a couplet. The poems must pair, hold hands, juxtapose, rhyme (literally or figuratively), translate, or otherwise be incapable of living apart. We only consider two poems per author. Send one pair.
HOPKINSON: How was it originally started?
LEHMANN: I wanted to provide a showcase for poems that are part of a set, that chatter back and forth to each other.
HOPKINSON: Who is your target reader audience?
LEHMANN: Anybody who loves poetry.
HOPKINSON: What type of work are you looking for?
LEHMANN: Topic is open, though we skew toward the jarring, the odd, the weird, the macabre, the political, the punk, the intersectional, the depressed, the fierce, the feminist and/or the misbehaved.
HOPKINSON: Where can we send submissions?
LEHMANN: You can put your pair of poems directly into the body of an email and send it to coupletpoetry@gmail.com
HOPKINSON: If someone has a question, how can they contact you?
LEHMANN: Email us at coupletpoetry@gmail.com
