Reviews should engage the text and may either be academic or personal in their nature. Reviews from 800-1500 words are preferred. Include a brief bio in the text of your email. Please note that we only take reviews of first books of poetry. If you would like to submit your book for review please query for instructions.

If you're interested in reviewing a first book of poetry (sorry, no chapbooks), please contact us so that we can assist you if you need to obtain a review copy. (Please note the new address below)

If you're interested in sending us a review copy of your first book and having us locate a reviewer for you, please mail review copies to:

art & photography
Email images in JPG format for review to boxcarpoetry@gmail.com with "IMAGE-SUB: your name" in the subject line of the email. Include a brief bio in the text of your email. If accepted, we may request a larger and/or uncompressed version.


interviews
We find the most interesting interviews are conversations between poets who already have some familiarity with each other. As with the reviews, our focus is on poets who have recently published their first book. If you have an interview you'd like to do, please send your proposal to boxcarpoetry@gmail.com and indicate "INTERVIEW" in the header.
