About

Oatleaf is a free online publication with open submissions year-round.

We currently publish one poem weekly between January first and October thirty-first. The magazine goes on break during November and December.

Visit the Submit page to view more details on standard submissions and competitions!

Oatleaf does not profit from the work of poets. The goal of this magazine is to publish and share amazing poems with others who love and appreciate poetry.

We nominate for the Pushcart Prize in November.

In December, we announce the winner of our annual in-house award, The Oatleaf Poetry Award.
