THE PLAIN POETS

The Plain Poets allow submissions up to 5 pieces per writer, but we will only select one post to feature on our Instagram page. We are open to submissions from those with and without an Instagram writing/poetry account.

We do not accept pieces that express hateful speech, discrimination and violence against one's race, gender, sexuality, religion, disability and national origin.

For pieces with sensitive topics (e.g. sexual assault, eating disorders) please put  a Trigger Warning (TW) beforehand. 

We accept pieces that are:

a) written entirely in English

or 

b) written mostly in English, with direct translations of stanzas and lines that are written in a different language.

We generally accept all forms of poetry from a diverse range of styles, genres and topics.
