Dear Poet,

Perhaps it wasn't until this very moment that you knew of our existence. Before today, you might not have had any idea there was a delightful little online poetry magazine called The Basilica Review (and a nice name, too, isn't it?).

We have a question for you.
Would you give us the pleasure of reading your poetry?

We won't take the honor lightly.

Every submission receives a timely response; usually, we reply within a month of reading your work. Sometimes, we even reply within a day or two. We try to send quick acceptances to guarantee the inclusion of fantastic work. We'd rather not hear that The Print Magazine With a Less Lofty Purpose snapped up something we loved, or that An Artsier-than-Thou Zine got you first. We'd rather read our favorite poems on the pages of The Basilica Review.

If you haven't seen our debut issue yet, check it out. We were lucky enough to get talented poets like Todd Davis, Luci Shaw, Terri Kirby Erickson, Jack Ridl, and Michael Schmeltzer. It'll give you a taste of what we look for and might give you a better idea of what to send. Not to mention it'll be great reading.

Submit to a magazine that falls in love with its contributors. Submit poetry to be considered for Issue #2 of The Basilica Review.
