As many of you may have guessed, Cellpoems is on hiatus and has been for some time. For now, at least, we are not accepting submissions.

For the writers who had poems accepted by us, we will soon be in touch to ask whether you would still like them published on our website, or if you would like to place them elsewhere.

For those with poems pending, thank you for sending in your work to us. We will consider all these submissions for publication on the website. Publishing via text message has become technically unviable and quite costly at the moment.

Many thanks for the enthusiasm and kindness that so many of you have shown this tiny journal. We may be back someday if we have the time and energy.

In her poem “Poet’s Work,” Lorine Niedecker said that there was “no lay off from this condensery.”

We’re looking for poems that demonstrate the fruit of such labor: strange, profound, weird, and memorable language condensed into 140 characters or less (including title and author’s first initial + last name; previously unpublished work only, please).

Use the online submission form linked below to submit poems:
