Poems for Autumn

Our anthology of fall poems began with classics by Shakespeare, Blake, Keats, Shelley, Clare, Browning, Rossetti, Stevenson, Hopkins, Sandburg and Frost... but now we’ve selected the best from among the many poems we received in the last couple of months from contemporary poets around the world:

• Patricia Boutilier, “Floridian Mabon”
• Dorothea Grossman, “In the Library”
• Judith A. Lawrence, “Autumn Offering”
• Joseph Pacheco, “November Snow”
• Jack Peachum, “Our Pierrot in Autumn”
• Lisa Shields, “Sweater Weather”

We welcome your submissions for this autumn anthology and for our winter collection — you are invited to submit your own poems or suggest your favorite classics. (Please take note of one caution: the text box on our submission page doesn’t convey your format accurately when you type a poem into it — so we ask you to use slashes (“/”) to indicate line breaks and double slashes (“//”) to indicate stanzas.)
