Editorial Focus
Inspired by the small plot of apple trees near Cambridge, England where writers have gathered for years with their books and pens, the Orchards Poetry Journal is released biannually, in print and online. In each issue, the editors choose three poems to nominate for the Pushcart Prize.
Tips From the Editor
While we encourage rhymed verse in traditional forms, we also accept finely wrought free verse.
Orchards issues the Grantchester Award, in which editors select two poems for first and second place to receive a cash payment.
