Sho Poetry Journal, based in Arizona, is a small-press print journal coming out of a 20-year hibernation. We publish a diverse range of contemporary poetry and seek to champion poets at all stages of their careers, with special attention given to the work of emerging poets.

We publish two issues per year and feature 40 - 50 poets per issue. We also feature select work in audio form on our website and on social media.

We nominate select works for The Pushcart Prize, Best New Poets, and Best Spiritual Literature.

Our reading periods are January 1 to March 31 and July 1 to September 30.
