Editorial Focus
Stone Poetry Quarterly (formerly Stone Poetry Journal) is an online poetry journal that publishes poems ranging from the visceral to the cerebral across a full scope of human experience and awareness. They prefer to publish poems that present a diversity of contemporary perspectives and are well-crafted, artistic explorations of language, subject, and image. Decisions regarding all submitted work are communicated within seven days of submission. When appropriate, Stone Poetry Quarterly nominates for the Pushcart Prize.
