Submissions to Noor Hindi’s Guest Edited Folio are now closed. 

We received a total of 672 submissions and hope to have decisions back by the end of September. Stay tuned for future Guest Edited calls.

For our Summer/Fall 2026 issue, Guest Editor Noor Hindi will curate a folio of poems on the theme “Summer Love.”
Send us your hottest summer love poems 🔥
The poems dedicated to that crush that ruined your sleep schedule, the situationship that didn’t last, the long nights dreaming about someone under a warm full moon. Send us the poems that flirt with intensity. Give us your obsessions, your recklessness, your infinite, & your fleeting.
Poet Lore pays contributors $50 per published poem. Contributors also receive one copy of their issue, plus a copy of the following printed issue of Poet Lore.

You may submit up to 3 poems (maximum of 8 pages). If you currently have an open submission in our general submission queue, you are welcome to submit a separate submission to this themed call.

Submissions for this themed call will be open via Submittable (linked below).

Submissions should be typed in a serif font (Times New Roman, Garamond, etc.), 12pt font, and include a cover letter with the poet’s name, contact information, and titles of the poems.

  • Include all poems in 1 single document and please only submit once per submission call.
  • Include the titles of all poems in your cover letter (bullet points or numbers are easiest).
  • We accept simultaneous submissions, however, let us know in your cover letter if poems are simultaneously submitted, and please inform us immediately if a poem is accepted elsewhere.
  • We do not accept work that has been previously published. This includes on personal blogs and social media.
  • Upon acceptance, we ask for first serial rights, with rights reverting back to the author upon publication.

We are committed to diversity and inclusivity and highly encourage submissions from marginalized voices. We do not tolerate racism, bigotry, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia, xenophobia, anti-Semitism, ableism, or any work that promotes harmful stereotypes and viewpoints.

We do not publish any AI-generated works or works edited/constructed with the use of AI. By submitting, you affirm that no AI has been used to modify your submission.
