Submissions: Court Green 7
Call for SubmissionsDossier: The 1970s

We welcome submissions of poetry for the journal and the special dossier section each year from February 1 through May 1.

Each issue of Court Green features a dossier on a special topic or theme. For our seventh issue, we will feature a dossier on The 1970s. We would like to see poems on all that decade entailed, as well as the legacy thereof. We are as interested in poems that invoke the icons of and engage with the stereotypes of the 1970s as we are in poems that explore more tangential or atypical aspects of the decade. Poems of all styles and modes—historical, personal, political, confessional, formal, experimental, regional, global, nostalgic, critical, hybrid, and especially those styles and modes the editors have not yet foreseen—are welcome.

We will respond by August 31.
