About the Journal
Boxcar Poetry Review is an online poetry journal showcasing the work of new and established poets with new
issues appearing quarterly. What are we looking for? Simply the best poetry out there,
be it lyric or narrative, or somewhere in between. Take us someplace new. Move us. Transport us. Run us over with
a locomotive of brilliant imagery and voice.

The best poems of the year will be collected together in a print anthology which we try to get out sometime during the following year.
The 2006 anthology can be purchased here and a new anthology
will be available shortly.
In addition to publishing outstanding poetry, we seek to raise the profile of the next generation of poets by featuring reviews of first books and interviews with first book poets. Poems from Boxcar Poetry Review appear in the Best of the Net Anthology (Sundress Press). We also nominate poems for the Pushcart Prize in Poetry. If you're on Facebook, you can join our group here. We are also on GoodReads and can be found by searching for our email address (boxcarpoetry@gmail.com) there. |
