Poetry South is an international journal of poetry published annually by Creative Writing at Mississippi University for Women. It is edited by Kendall Dunkelberg and students in the low-residency MFA program. The views expressed herein are those of the writers, not the editors or Mississippi University for Women. Poetry South considers submissions year round. Submissions received after the deadline of July 15 will be considered for the following year. No previously published material will be accepted. Poetry South is not responsible for unsolicited submissions and their loss.

In 2016, Poetry South’s former editor, John Zheng, asked The W to take over the magazine, starting with Issue 8. John continues to edit Valley Voices and the Journal of Ethnic American Literature and remains on the masthead as Contributing & Advisory Editor along with Angela Ball, Carolyn Elkins, and Ted Haddin.

Subscription rates are $10 for one year, $18 for two years; additional postage is charged for international subscriptions. All rights revert to the authors after publication. We request Poetry South be credited with initial publication. Submissions and subscriptions may be made through Submittable.
