Editors on Poetry

How many poems should a submission include? Journal How long should a writer wait before sending another submission after being rejected?

Three to six poems is usually enough to get across style and voice. Of course, length is factor. Please don't send six 10-page poems! Submissions should total no more than ten pages. We prefer that poetry be submitted in business size (#10) envelopes for ease of handling.
American Letters & Commentary:

Anna Rabinowitz and Jeanne Marie Beaumont
We are an annual. We read only five months per year and then move into production phase. Therefore a one year wait is suggested unless we specifically request a submission sooner.

Three to five.
Apostrophe:
Sheila Tombe
No idea.

Three to six.
The Bridge:
Jack Zucker
No set time.

It depends on the length of the poems. In general, up to six.
The Carolina Quarterly:
Robert West
He or she is welcome to turn around and send us more poems immediately. Of course if they're much like what we rejected, it's a waste of both the writer's time and our readers' time.

Three to five.
ELF: Eclectic Literary Forum:
C. K. Erbes
Additional submissions can be sent immediately and as often as the writer wishes.

Three to five poems or 3-5 pages if poems are longer.
Kalliope, a Journal of Women's Art:
Mary Sue Koeppel
It is up to the writer.

No more than a total of eight or nine pages, or a maximum of five poems.
The Literary Review:
William Zander
Unless I ask someone to consider revising something, a poet should wait at least a month or two to re-submit. I am inclined not to write notes of encouragment when I find myself inundated with a poet's entire corpus after sending her or him a note of encouragement.

Three to five.
Lullwater Review:
Eric Brignac
We read everything objectively. She or he can resubmit as soon as she or he wants.

Three to six.
Phoebe: A Journal of Literary Arts:
Christopher Putnam
Doesn't really matter, but usually waiting until the reading period for the next issue is best.
Three to six.
The Sewanee Review:
George Core
Two to three months unless an editor says otherwise. Many authors, having gotten encouragement, then overload the poor devil who provided said encouragement.

Five.
The Southern Review:
Dave Smith
Three months, unless otherwise instructed, is minimum because of the schedule under which we operate.

Three to six poems or one long poem.
tnr:
Frank Finale
Unless asked, wait until the next submission period.
