Statement
Poetica Magazine is dedicated to publishing poetry, prose and short stories
that will be of relevance to Jewish life. We are looking for works that are inspired
by fresh insights evoked by natural and cultural experiences. They may speak
in many different voices that communicate, surprise or disturb
and that bear witness to the world in which we live.
We consider works for our print collections
published every March/July/November
and to our on-line special editions.
Starting in 2010,
we will publish an annual anthology centered on a theme.
Mizmor L'David Anthology is 140 page collection
of poetry and short stories by over sixty writers.
We are also publisher of chapbooks
selected from our annual contest.
In March we offer
annual poetry contest
judged by Jane Ellen Glasser.
Poetica seeks to be a small
and focused publishing venue.
Although not yet designated a 501(c) 3 organization,
Poetica is not for profit.
All monies from subscriptions,
contests, and sales go directly
toward covering the costs of production.
We are grateful to the many readers
and writers who support Poetica by
submitting/subscribing/donating
Our publisher, editor,
visiting editors, judges, proofreaders -
volunteer their time and talent
for the love for the creative arts
and Jewish literature.
