Each submission must contain your REAL name, your E-mail name, and your E-mail address. You will be notified by E-mail if any of your work is accepted for inclusion in the magazine. All submissions are released upon publication of the issue for which they were submitted. Publication in this magazine constitutes "previous publication" for most poetry contests.
