Gulf Stream Literary Magazine: Monday Market Spotlight

I hope everyone's having a great start to 2016. Here is this week’s spotlight market: Gulf Stream Literary Magazine.

The tagline for Gulf Stream Lit Mag is "South Florida's Literary Current," and they do a great job fulfilling that mission statement. The current issue (read here) features nine poems by nine poets. When you read them, you'll notice some poems are paired with images; one poem is even slightly redacted. So take risks!

Gulf Stream has been publishing since 1989 and has published the work of established and unknown writers in that time. In their guidelines the editors say, "We want poems that take risks and surprise us with fresh language, perspectives and ideas."

Speaking of submissions, their reading period just opened (January 1) and will not close until March 1. Poets can only submit once per submission period, but they can submit up to 5 poems if they're all in the same document.
