Call for Submissions: Foothill Poetry

Claremont Graduate University’s poetry journal Foothill is open for submissions! 

Find more details below and on the attached submissions flyer.


Submissions of up to six unpublished, English-language-based poems composed in any poetic genre or form are welcome from poets actively enrolled in a graduate program anywhere in the world.

Graduate-student poets writing in a foreign language are welcome to submit, so long as the work is translated into English. We will happily give the translator credit.

Foothill accepts simultaneous submissions, and read them year round. The journal asks for first publishing rights, with rights reverting to the author upon publication. By submitting, you agree that your work may be used or archived on the Foothill website as well as in subsequent print or electronic anthologies, and that your work is original. As compensation for publication, authors receive one free copy of the print journal.

Send your poems as a Microsoft Word “.doc” or “.docx” file attachment to foothill@cgu.edu with “poetry submission” in the heading. In your cover letter, please include your name, e-mail address, title(s) of poem(s), as well as the name of the university and program in which you are enrolled. Please allow up to three months for a response.
