Two Ezines of "classically structured" poems

[rayheinrich]

Not precisely classically structured but I do love a rule breaker.

I used to read Umbrella all the time, and there was a good sonnet ezine called 14by14 but I don't know if it's still going. That was back in the day when it was my job to do so... I've gone right off ezines for some reason, maybe saturation.

For anyone thinking of submitting to poetry journals, your best first stop is Duotrope Digest, where you'll find a list of publications and their submission guidelines, fee structures etc. Don't be disheartened by rejections, these journals get thousands of submissions every issue and can usually only publish between 10 and 40 poems.

Ah, yes, well, I should have checked it before saying "villanelle" since I
KNEW I was talking to an expert, but, well, that's why I'm not an expert.

But be advised: If I ever find MY "villanelle" (true in both senses since
one is my entire life's output) you shall find it up to snuff and definitely
not something to be sniffed at unless you are a dog which you are not
since dogs can't write villanelles! (Though maybe that's true for Texas
dogs and Aussie dogs can, but no, even Aussie dogs can't pun like you
do, so, yes, I'm safe in making that assumption and even if I'm not I
shall find something else to deny.)

And on a related topic: Of course you knew about Umbrella and Duotrope.
(Duotrope, BTW, is great for finding stuff to read even if you could give
two flips about writing crap.)

P.S.
Being disheartened by rejections is vital for those of us who feast on suffering.
